💫 Everyone Help me Welcome Anne to our Community!
@Anne Bliss really glad you have found this growing group of parents committed to a new future. A healthier relationship with your adult child is possible. More open conversations. Less conflict. A deeper sense of trust on both sides. That’s what we’re building here. Introduce yourself and if you're comfortable share with the group what’s one thing you wish was different in your relationship?

@Katherine Evans I am learning that my children do not want my mother-to-little-child-advice. I have to accept that their poor choices have hurt them, and their children and, me, and that I can grieve that. I am working on changing me. I can pray for positive changes for them.
Your Mother's Day guide is here, let's talk about it tomorrow!
Sunday is just a few days away. And we want to make sure you have what you need. Catherine created a free guide called "Getting Through Mother's Day When Your Heart Is Heavy." It covers what you might be feeling and why it's completely normal, how to plan the day intentionally, a self-compassion journaling exercise, and where to find support. DOWNLOAD YOUR MOTHER'S DAY GUIDE Catherine is also hosting a "Mother's Day Check-in" for those navigating a painful Mother's Day. Real conversation. A safe space: 🗓️ Friday May 8, 2026 at 8:30pm EST/ 5:30pm PST You don't have to explain yourself to anyone this week. You just have to show up, here, with us, exactly as you are. 🙂

@Martha Kirby We understand the very heavy heart!
Confidence Building
My daughter called today asking for advice about opportunity to change jobs. Instead of quick questions and my thoughts, I asked what she was thinking and why. I then said I think you know the answer. She said just talking about it out loud I figured it out. She sounded so confident in her ability- just because I kept my mouth shut- lol

Nancy Young my daughter also called me a few days ago asking my advice about what I thought might be a good career move for her. I dont know if my daughter has ever asked my advice before! She also told me about a specific concert she attended in Austin. She also said, " I don't know if I told you I was going to Sydney's graduation party?" Wow this is the first time in years that my daughter has told me anything specific. I had to pause because I was so pleasantly shocked. I didn't give unsolicited parent to child advice, instead I talked to her as adult to adult.

Welcome @Libby Cholerton . You are going to love this group.
Welcome to The P.A.R.E.N.T. Method!
Hello Parent, I am so excited you are here! We are going on a journey together that will help you create the relationship with your adult child you have always wanted. Parenting in this season is not for the faint of heart and I know from personal and professional experience what it takes to be a successful parent to adult kids. You are already ahead of the curve. You are here, hungry to learn, and wanting to grow! Your children are fortunate to have a parent like you who is teachable and willing to invest in your relationship with them. There is no ceiling on a parent who is committed to being the best version of themselves and you will learn on this journey how to be who your child needs you to be: Accepting, emotionally safe, and worthy of trust. Parenting is about you and how you show up in the relationship, not how your children turn out. This is your journey so take whatever time you need to walk through this framework. I have helped parents for over 40 years and I have implemented what you will see and hear with my own adult children, who are in their 40's. I will take you through this process step by step so you know exactly how to incorporate these skills and insights into your life. I want you to be kind to yourself as you start this process. There are millions of parents who have the same questions so take comfort in knowing you are not alone. The good news is that now you are a part of a community who will learn together how to parent adults with confidence and grace. Thanks again for being a part of the P.A.R.E.N.T. Method community. Let's get started! Warmly, Catherine

@Nancy Young Yes, so different than preparing them for adulthood. I am so sad I did not know that until I saw this program. How did I not know this until my oldest son was 35?
