For every child who's a successfully independent young adult, there's another who can't quite get it together. This book provides a nonjudgmental and highly effective approach to dealing with children... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book covers all aspects of emotional behavior associated with grown children who, for whatever reason, have difficulty acting grown up. No parent is perfect, but Stockman gets you past the guilt (Where did I go wrong?) and moves you toward problem-solving. This book gives you the strength to appreciate your children and have an adult relationship with them. He gives clear analysis to many of the reasons why some adult children don't grow up, and ways to be pro-active instead of reacting. This one is a keeper.
Well Written

This well written book gives parents the information needed to deal with children who still feel "we owe them." It puts into perspective how to talk to our adult children and how to respond to their demands. Plenty of good insight and plenty of the right antidotes. A must for every parent who can't seem to cut the cord.
Speaking as a family counselor, buy it!

If you are a parent who has tried everything without success, you owe it to yourself to read this book. I have looked high and low for ways to deal with out of control adult adolescents, and so far, this book tops the list.
Excellent resource for parents with adult children at home.
