Episode 401 – Parenting Adult Children (Even If Yours Are Still Young)
About this episode
The episode discusses the transition in parenting from controlling young children to fostering independence in adult children.
Welcome back to the Smiling Homeschooler podcast. This week, we’re talking about one of the biggest shifts in parenting, which is what it looks like to move from being in control when our kids are little to slowly letting go as they grow into adulthood. We discuss the tension of parenting older kids, learning when to speak and when to stay quiet, and what it really means to “pass the baton” while maintaining the relationship. Even if you don’t have adult kids yet, this is such an important conversation because the way we parent now lays the groundwork for those future relationships. It was a great conversation, and we hope you enjoy! Before we start, we want to thank Teaching Textbooks for all of their support of the Smiling Homeschooler.
