Learn how to guide your teens from high school to college, launch them into their first adulthood, and prepare for your second!

"Remember teaching your five-year old to ride a two-wheeler? Launching them from high school to college is a lot like that - knowing when to pull, when to push, when to take your hand off the back of the seat, and what to do when they fall.”

- Jane Adams, Ph.D.

Build positive, strong relationships with your teens as they become young adults

After spending 18 years intensely involved in day-to-day parenting, you’re entering a new stage of life, one in which the roles, rules and opportunities are different for both you and your teenager. What’s similar, though, are the psychological issues you’re both confronting. While they’re getting ready to leave home, you’re trying to figure out how to let them. While they’re figuring out who they will be without you, you’re wondering who you’ll be without them.

Meanwhile, their emerging adulthood is stirring old dreams, new fantasies, and forgotten fragments of the person you were before you were their parent. Keeping them on track without losing your own balance during the most challenging time in family life isn’t easy.

Successful Postparenting

The Workshop

Parenthood starts when your kids are old enough to vote and lasts as long as you do. It’s the final evolution of your role as a parent, and it requires what may be the most difficult task of all: acknowledging that they are adults, with the right to lead their own lives, make their own choices, and pursue their own dreams, regardless of whether or not you approve. That sounds easy, but it isn’t.You raised them to be strong, independent, and think for themselves, so why are you worried while they’re doing it?

You want to have an authentic, intimate, and loving relationship with them, but why are they always too busy, distant, or disinterested? Does it seem like they’re taking so much longer to grow up than you did that you wonder if they ever will? Are you trying to cope with fallout from their troubled past? Reeling from current difficulties in their lives? Still trying to solve those problems for them or taking responsibility for their actions? Concern over grown kids who are failing to thrive is a major cause stress in midlife parents!

Successful Post-Parenting will help you:

  • Understand the nature and context of emerging adulthood as your kids journey toward mature independence.

  • Establish the roles, rules and boundaries of your changed relationship with them.

  • Recognize the reality of who they are now, not who they were then.

  • Free you both from the burden of your disappointments

  • Liberate you and your adult children to get on with your lives and support each other in your quest for happiness.

    • There are three parts to this workshop, each one focusing on a different aspect of Post-Parenthood:

    1) Emerging Adulthood or Extended Adolescence? Putting Their Generation in Context.

    2) Creating a Relationship With Them for a Lifetime

    3) Letting Go Of Their Problems Without Letting Go Of Them

    Each participant receives a workbook for interactive use during and after the workshop, which is geared to community groups, hospital outreach programs, church and synagogue organizations, health forums, and others focusing on family issues.
