couples and families, and a mother, mother-in-law and grandmother for many years so she has lots of lived and clinical experience in this area of parenting adult children. Throughout the conversation, we spoke about the changing roles of parenting – our adult children are still our children, but with their own lives and choices and how to navigate that balance. Especially if we think they are making mistakes.
Yeta also spoke about how to have conversation about sensitive topics. We spoke about children-in-law, about the couple coming for yom tov and single adult children living at home.
