They’re adults now, but they’re still stuck—and nothing you try seems to help. You push, they resist. You back off, they stall. If you’re tired of walking on eggshells and unsure how to actually support your young adult, this episode is for you. We’re talking about what really gets in the way, and how a small shift in your approach can make a big difference.
What to expect in this episode:
- The hidden reasons your child may appear “lazy” or unmotivated
- What to do instead of pushing your agenda when they feel stuck
- Redefining your role from director to collaborator
- Understanding the 30 percent developmental delay and what it means for your 25-year-old
- Why emotional detachment is not cold and how it helps you parent more effectively
