Summary
Are you struggling to connect with your child now that they've left the nest? Are you feeling the tension and heartache as your relationship dynamic begins to change? In Doing Life with Your Adult Children, bestselling author and parenting expert Jim Burns provides practical advice and hopeful encouragement for navigating this tough yet rewarding transition.
If you've raised a child, you know that parenting doesn't stop when they turn eighteen. In many ways, your relationship gets even more complicated--your heart and your head are as involved as ever, but you can feel things shifting, whether your child lives under your roof or rarely stays in contact.
Doing Life with Your Adult Children helps you navigate this rich and challenging season of parenting. Speaking from his own personal and professional experience, Burns offers practical answers to the most common questions he's received over the years, including:
- My child's choices are breaking my heart--where did I go wrong?
- Is it OK to give advice to my grown child?
- What's the difference between enabling and helping?
- What boundaries should I have if my child moves back home?
- What do I do when my child doesn't seem to be maturing into adulthood?
- How do I relate to my grown child's significant other?
- What does it mean to have healthy financial boundaries?
- How can I support my grown children when I don't support their values?
Including positive principles on bringing kids back to faith, ideas on how to leave a legacy as a grandparent, and encouragement for every changing season, Doing Life with Your Adult Children is a unique book on your changing role in a calling that never ends.

Not for everyone
Good narration and read very well. Good advice if you can zone out to the constant references to religion and faith. I couldn’t.

Practical advice
I wish I'd known these practical tips earlier. I have 4 young adult sons and have been stumbling around doing life with them. Ive got very discouraged but now I know how to go through this stage with more confidence. Thank you!

Too much Christian religious content.
Everyone, no matter what their religious beliefs if any, could be helped. But all the focus on a Christianity detracted from the work.

2stars due to the religious angle
Just to warn those who are not religious that the author is. There is quite a bit about religion and his kids not keeping close to God or going to church. As an atheist this was disappointing and not overt in first glance.

Too much religious content
Didn't finish it I'm afraid which is a shame because if you take away the extreme amount of religious Christian content, the fundamentals behind it are good and make sense and are useful. I got half way through, learnt a few things but couldn't bear to listen anymore to a) the religious speil and b) the narrator's accent.

Disappointing
The publisher should make it clear on the cover that this is by and for Christians. I would have avoided it.
