Publisher's Synopsis
You may have always expected your job as a parent to be done once your children reached adulthood . . . but you're quickly finding out that you never stop being a parent!
In this Parents Book, you will discover:
- Chapter 1 begins by restoring your perspective. You are done parenting. Now, you must view your kids as adults like God does, even if they are not acting like adults. Failure to grow up does not excuse a person from adulthood.
- The author describes in Chapter 2 the first practical step to take. It's a hard one. Rather than talking to them parent-to-child, adjust your communication style to adult-to-adult. That one change has mended many relational fences. Talking down to them doesn't motivate them to grow up.
- In Chapter 3 learn how to advise when asked or what to do when they don't choose to follow your advice or don't even ask for it. There is a way to open a closed mind. One thing that tears you up is their failure to fulfill your expectations and dreams.
- Chapter 4 shows how to adjust your expectations to fit today's reality and gain some welcome peace. Undoubtedly, you did the best you could with the information and maturity you had when you raised them, but you made a few mistakes.
- And so much more!
This book reminds us that the pleasures and possibilities of postparenthood should not depend on how our kids turn out, but on how we do!
