“Nothing prepared us for when our child grew older…as the parents of a young adult, we never knew it would be so hard.”
Introducing a new online video course for the Parents of Young Adults, written by and narrated by a professional with over 14 years of clinical experience.
There are hundreds of online courses and thousands of books for anyone parenting an infant, child, or adolescent–however, Paul Krauss noticed a giant gap in availability for helping those parents who were navigating life with their children after 18.
Parents had reported to Paul that they felt overwhelmed by the demands of what their young adult was going through after they became adults. Parents reported that they weren’t sure what to do when their young adult needed money, relationship advice, temporary housing, rehabilitation, a new job, and other such scenarios. Many parents found themselves arguing over how involved to be with their young adult children, and so, even after they supposed to feel the joy of an “empty nest”–many parents found themselves in further agony as they felt obligated to DO SOMETHING for their adult child while lacking any control over their adult child’s behaviors and decision making.

Paul worked for years with parents of young adults in private practice, and began hearing from people outside of his counseling practice. Paul decided that it was time to create a course based on what he knew from his clinical experience, books he had read, and advice from his mentors. Help is on the way for parents of young adults who are attempting to navigate the difficulties of boundaries, communication, mental health concerns, financial issues, family gatherings, housing and more:
