Read Teenproofing first. Then stop "fixing" everything for them. Quit making them feel "special" about whatever, and then like this book says "keep your mouth shut", even when they ask for advice don't give it to them Now you don't have to read the book, but if you do, it's okay. No magic but good advice. Yes, it's an advice book not a research book on young adult behavior.
What worked for our parents doesn't seem to work for THIS generation of parents of adult children....Thanks for expressing in WORDS what we and our adult children have been FEELING, but maybe never expressed....Jane Isay "normalizes" these experiences and feelings and gives good insights. This book opened areas of conversation which needed to be opened....well done! (By the way, this is NOT the book, of the same name, Walking on Eggshells, a classic in the field of borderline personality disorder)
I needed it. Have 5 kids over 20 and it was very helpful. I stopped giving advice!
I gave this as a gift and kept one for myself. Lots of interesting information on what to say and NOT SAY to your adult children. Of course, always "Keep your mouth shut and your pocketbook OPEN!"
I can save you some money...there is little hope for having any kind of loving relationship with adult children unless you are willing to be a doormat. SIMILAR ITEMS:
