How to Parent Your Adult Child
In the last few years I have created a new niche in my practice, counseling parents of adult "children." Perhaps it is a result of the fact that people are living longer that my clients are often over 65 and are as frustrated over their relationships with their grown-up sons and daughters as they were when their offspring were toddlers or teens. Although society has many rituals to celebrate the rites of passage into adulthood such as graduation from school, bar mitzvahs, and weddings, we have no way to demarcate the passage from "child" to adult within the family.
