About this listen
Are you struggling to connect with your child now that they've left the nest? Are you feeling the tension and heartache as your relationship dynamic begins to change? In Doing Life with Your Adult Children, bestselling author and parenting expert Jim Burns provides practical advice and hopeful encouragement for navigating this tough yet rewarding transition.
If you've raised a child, you know that parenting doesn't stop when they turn eighteen. In many ways, your relationship gets even more complicated--your heart and your head are as involved as ever, but you can feel things shifting, whether your child lives under your roof or rarely stays in contact.
Doing Life with Your Adult Children helps you navigate this rich and challenging season of parenting. Speaking from his own personal and professional experience, Burns offers practical answers to the most common questions he's received over the years, including:
- My child's choices are breaking my heart--where did I go wrong?
- Is it OK to give advice to my grown child?
- What's the difference between enabling and helping?
- What boundaries should I have if my child moves back home?
- What do I do when my child doesn't seem to be maturing into adulthood?
- How do I relate to my grown child's significant other?
- What does it mean to have healthy financial boundaries?
- How can I support my grown children when I don't support their values?
Including positive principles on bringing kids back to faith, ideas on how to leave a legacy as a grandparent, and encouragement for every changing season, Doing Life with Your Adult Children is a unique book on your changing role in a calling that never ends.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good content but religious undertones
I think the content has merit I just didn’t like the American presenter and I didn’t like how religious the book became.

Too religious
Some great stuff here. And then the final chapter was all about Gods love and blah blah blah so I switched off and didn’t finish it. I’d never have wasted a credit on it if I’d known it was going to be so “Christian”.

Patronising and Preachy
The author is obviously knowledgeable on the subject but I found his constant reference to church preachy and his style of narration patronising. I persevered for two hours and had to give it up. I would not recommend this book to modern parents of adult children.

A Christian book about parenting.
Whilst I did take away a number of good points.
I felt the tone is a bit condescending.
Some of the issues seem only pertinent to Christians.
Some of the issues dealt with seem non issues to me as it is 2021!

Too much religion
I am not a religious person and feel that quotations from the bible are irrelevant to doing life with adult children.
I didn’t like this book at all!

Too much of a Christian perspective
Too much of a Christian, biblical perspective. If that was made clear in the description I would not have purchased

Preachy
Really didn’t need the bible quotes and patronising tone. Gave up at chapter 2. Slow and tedious.
