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

Where do I find the resource that discusses adult children moving back home?

This teaching layouts out the important elements of being resilient in our families. I think it will encourage you on many levels.

@Catherine Hickem I have two questions re the couples class: Given the dynamic I have previously described re my relationship with my “spouse” … 1. Will the class be recorded and available for us to view. 2. As I asked in my original post, will Bill present the material from a co-parenting perspective? Thank you.

I find myself in a boot because I broke a bone in my foot. Not exactly something I want to deal with right now but life happens and we often have to deal with things we didn't plan. I handle things like this pretty well most of the time but sometimes, I get weary and have less patience with myself. We are often generous with everyone but ourselves and I want to be sure that as you enter this Mother's Day weekend, you show respect to the woman in the mirror. Treat her like a best friend. She deserves all the love and kindness she can get.
