Top 10 Ways to have a Great Relationship with Your Adult Children
by Shelly Janac
- Set a standing date!
- Be a true friend.
- Accept their dreams may not be your dreams.
- Do not make assumptions!
- Get on their level. Social media is their generations way of communicating. Take the initiative to communicate in the way they are comfortable.
- Support without coddling. Let them face the consequences of their own life. Just because you can bail them out doesn’t always mean you should.
- Trust them to make good decisions. You have spent years instilling your values and beliefs In them. Now, you need to sit back and trust they know how to make good decisions.
- Have your own life!
- Put yourself in their shoes. If you take a step back to your young adulthood you will probably remember as much as you may have loved your family they were not your top choice for social time. Try to see their current journey through their eyes instead of your own.
- Pray for them! And for God to continue to give you the wisdom and words to support them. When they do ask for your advice and guidance you have to be willing to accept if they do not take it. Think deeply about your prayer and be sure you are offering it for their best interest and not your own.
