Are you struggling with your relationship with an adult child?
Yes
No

For part two of our chat on relationships between parents and adult children Dan will be joined by Jane Isay, author of“Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the delicate relationship between adult children and parents”.

Isay traveled the country interviewing adult children and their parents.  She found that adult children want the same things younger children do; they want their strengths acknowledged, they want to know that you are proud of them and that your love for them is unyielding. And there is two things our adult children don't want.  They don't want our guilt and they don't want to hear our lectures anymore.
