For Parents

What is a parent to do when they struggling to see their adult child as an adult and are working to have a more mature relationship with their child, but they cannot seem to make any headway in that area? What if your young adult suddenly has political and religious views that differ from your own? What is a parent to do in this stage of parenting? 

There are countless books on how to parent infants, toddlers, children, and teens–but not many that address this issue. Regardless, oftentimes books lack the answers and the process that most parents of young adults are seeking. If you are a parent of a young adult and are not sure where to turn, working with an experienced therapist who specializes in this topic area and has expertise with young adults may help you. At Health for Life Grand Rapids, we have multiple counselors and therapists that specialize in this area.
