Episode 62 How do I parent my adult-ish kids? With Lisa Clark
Description
I’ll never forget the time in high school when Kate and I had a disagreement, and she threw down these inflammatory words: “welllll I am 18 years old.” I believe my response was something like, “yes dear one, you’re an 18-year-old that drives our car, uses our cell phone, lives in our house, wears our clothes, and exists on our money.” (Perhaps I should have paused a bit before responding.)
Nonetheless, if you have older kids, you’ve probably had similar moments of trying to adjust to kids reaching adulthood-ish while they are still financially dependent and oftentimes making questionable decisions. Thank goodness Lisa Clark is here today!
Lisa is an author, mother, grandmother, and incredible lady who is giving some much-needed advice on parenting our adult-ish children. Some of the topics we cover include:
-
Best advice on sending a kid to college
-
How to respect our child’s independence while also giving them important advice
-
Practical ways to connect with older kids
-
Recognizing they are adults even when they don’t act like it
Even if you don’t have older kids yet, the day is coming, so tune in for some great wisdom from precious Lisa Clark!
