5.0 out of 5 stars
A great realistic overview,
By "cherchercj" (La Verne, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Once a Parent, Always a Parent (Focus on the Family) (Paperback)
A very "down-to-earth" realistic overview of life with adult children in today's world and the challenges and victories we face together. The first 35 pages don't contain a lot of "meat" so skip over it or hang in there for the best part. Great suggestions,ideas, true stories, and loads of encouragement for both parents with struggling or "successful kids." Some of my favorities: specific examples of how to talk to your kids that would be more effective and get good results such as the chapter "Six Characteristics of a Nice No", another great chapter, "Dumb Decisions" (theirs) which weaves the Prodigal Son throughout, and the last two chapters which focus on reparenting the adult child and passing on the truth. This book is an easy-read and helpful no matter what your situation.

Much needed encouragement!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Once a Parent, Always a Parent (Focus on the Family) (Paperback)
Covers almost any situation of dealing with adult children who aren't entirely gone from the nest. Helps reader sort out priorities and guidelines for one's own situation. Highly recommended!

This review is from: Once a Parent, Always a Parent (Focus on the Family) (Paperback)
As we entered the parenting adult children stage, we began seeking advice when our (newly adult) kids didn't seem to be quite what we had expected. After reading several parenting books and becoming pretty discouraged about all that we did not do correctly when they were younger (and we know we weren't that bad) this was a breath of fresh air. Our question was: "What do we do now?" If your kids are confused and a bit 'lost' in trying to figure out who they are and what they want to do with themselves this book may be of great encouragement. It also discusses those who are bit more than just lost and confused. I was encouraged to stick with it and them.
