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

I have 3 married adult sons (54, 52 & 41) & 7 grandchildren and am divorced. My relationship with my youngest (41) is very strained & has been for years, He grew up w a narcissistic emotionally distant father who paid no attention to him, He started lashing out at me in every conversation after College,. We have gone to therapy together but it didn't help - he only went to fix me & didn't participate even though it was his idea. I visit them every 2 months or so and i'm always caught off guard when he blows up. My boys and I have a very close extended family & I'm close w the older boys. My youngest has a baby & 3 yr old now and I don't want to be shut out or limit my visits because of his outbursts which i find so hurtful & disrespectful. Our last encounter, I listened and apologized for what i said & he was very grateful for that, so i know i have to change to get him to trust me. One encounter won't change anything. I want to go forward w a positive enjoyable relationship- also one that his little children can emulate.
