Synopsis

How To Be a Parent When Your Child Is an Adult teaches us that one of the hardest things a parent has to do is to let go of their children when they are older, to let them be themselves and to make their own mistakes, and to respect them as adults in their own rights. There is no shortage of books on bringing up children, but very few on dealing with your offspring once they have matured; but be warned - the learning process never stops! The authors deal with all the major issues that are likely to come up during the later years of your children's lives, and offer advice on such topics as financial problems, substance abuse, sleeping arrangements when partners come to stay, homosexuality, involvement with the police and single parenthood, ill health and death, as well as the intricacies of finding a new and adult way of relating to young adults that is different from and better than the relationship you had with your children when they were young.
