About this listen

Raising children can bring unexpected challenges and unique obstacles at any age—but young adulthood requires an entirely new set of parenting skills! Adults between 18 and 25 are experiencing a radical transformation that can be hard for their parents to keep up with.

From the decisions children make to the lifestyles they lead, many things can put a wedge in a parent–child relationship during this period. However, with the right set of tools, what could drive others apart can bring many families closer together!

Parenting the Young Adult Years brings parents a fresh perspective on building meaningful connections with their adult children. Through practical tips and realistic strategies for parents, this guide provides a foundational start to an inspiring new beginning!

From cover to cover, listeners will find

  • communication tips rooted in respect alongside active listening strategies for more productive conversations.
  • methods to foster independence and instill responsibility so young adults are more prepared for the real-life challenges ahead.
  • guidance on how to support their children emotionally so they feel assured in their chosen career path.
  • ways to navigate conflicts and setbacks that will lead to growth rather than harm, creating a bond that will only become stronger with time!

This leap from adolescence to adulthood can be scary for both parents and kids—but it doesn't have to be difficult!

Parenting doesn't stop once a child reaches adulthood; instead, it requires a new set of tools. This guide acts as an empowering instrument to ease the transition.

Parenting the Young Adult Years makes a perfect addition to any parent's shelf, supporting families to create meaningful bonds!

Good Parenting Audiobook

I really needed this audiobook as my kids are entering their early twenties - it's been quite the journey! The narrator's warm, engaging voice made the content feel like advice from a wise friend over coffee. I especially loved the practical communication strategies and ways to step back while still staying connected. You know that tricky balance of letting go while being there for support? This book gets it. The listening experience was smooth and clear, making it easy to absorb the helpful insights during my morning walks. Honestly wish I'd found this sooner.

Practical and compassionate!

This is fantastic for parents who are in the transition period of raising teenagers and supporting them into adulthood. I like how it is written with a compassionate tone, is relatable, realistic, and actionable. Hitting the right balance between giving your teenager space and cultivating a strong lasting connection can be tough there are nuances to it, but this will lead you in the right direction!

A transition

Going from parenting teens to young adults is almost as big of a transition as parenting children to teens, if you know what I mean. It's another phase of life, it's crazy. And I think that having a book like this, to understand the transition is super helpful! Even for a young adult, to get where parents are coming from.

Great listen, highly recommend!

This book was exactly what I needed as a parent of a young adult. Navigating this phase can be tricky—knowing when to step back and when to offer support—but Parenting the Young Adult Years provided clear, practical advice that helped me find that balance. The communication strategies were especially helpful; they’ve made conversations with my child more respectful and productive. I also appreciated the focus on fostering independence while still offering emotional support. It felt like the author really understood the challenges parents face during this transition. Overall, it’s a well-rounded, easy-to-follow guide that made me feel more confident about handling this stage of parenting. Highly recommend it to anyone in the same boat!

The communication tips were so eye-opening.

I was struggling to connect with my 21-year-old son. We argued a lot, and I felt like I was losing him. This book helped me step back and really listen to him. I started following the advice, and now we talk without fighting. It’s not easy, but I feel like we’re closer again. If you’re feeling lost as a parent, this book can really help.

Parenting Doesn't Stop at 18

This audiobook was a lifesaver as I navigated some tricky conversations with my daughter recently. I was feeling a little lost on how to approach some sensitive topics, and the tips on respectful communication and active listening were incredibly helpful. It really gave me a framework for understanding her perspective and having productive conversations, rather than just arguments. I feel like we're connecting so much better now, and I owe a lot of that to the insights in this book.
