Parenting Grown Kids with Grace

This audiobook gave me a fresh and much-needed perspective on what it means to parent adult children. In today’s world, it’s become increasingly common for young adults, even with college or master’s degrees, to struggle with full independence. I’ve seen bright, hardworking young people juggling full-time jobs and side hustles just to afford rent in expensive cities. This book acknowledges those realities without judgment and offers solid guidance on how parents can stay supportive without enabling. The author explains when a comforting hug is what’s needed versus when it’s time for a subtle but firm push forward. It’s not just about “letting go,” it’s about shifting into a healthier, more respectful dynamic. Whether you're already navigating this stage or preparing for it, this audiobook is an insightful companion that helps you show up with clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Great resource

I loved reading this book. As i was reading this book I thought about how my own parents were "parenting" me as I moved from my teens, to my 20's and beyond. This was a great book and if you have kids, you will want this book! I found it to be a refreshing angle on parenting at a completely different level than when your kids are young and still living with you! Highly recommend!

This heartfelt and practical guide is perfect for parents learning to support their adult children with empathy, respect, and wisdom.

Highly recommended.
