Things Adult Children Want to Hear (from their parents), from Nedra Tawwab
As their children enter adulthood, parents often wonder how they can find the words to mend old wounds and nurture their relationship. Nedra Tawwab has some great ideas ❤️
• I didn’t know what you needed. What can I do now?
• I was in survival mode.
• Do you want advice or would you prefer I just listen?
• Even when you upset me, I still love you.
• I didn’t handle that well. Let me try again.
• You’re right.
• I want you to find out what works best for you. You don’t have to do it my way.
• Thank you.
• I’m proud of you.
• I enjoy your company.
A healthy adult child and parent relationship takes work and is a gift.
