Parenting your adult children after 25 requires shifting from director to supporter as they become truly independent and often more receptive to your wisdom and experience.

• Children over 25 are more reflective and insightful about their own experiences
• Clear communication is essential when setting boundaries with adult children
• Support means encouraging good choices rather than enabling dependency
• When adult children become parents, offer advice only when requested
• Understand when your adult child needs a "bucket" (listening ear) versus a "toolbox" (solutions)
• If adult children move back home, establish clear expectations and boundaries immediately
• The empty nest phase requires acknowledging grief while embracing new opportunities
• Take time to rediscover yourself and your spouse when children leave home

Relationships are our most powerful intervention when helping children who have experienced trauma or instability heal and grow. Every child is wired for connection, asking fundamental questions through their behavior about safety, value, and belonging that can only be answered through consistent, safe relationships.
