How to deal with kids when they are no longer “kids, but are still YOUR KIDS
Be like water and just flow…
Not always an easy thing to do…but a wise thing, if you can do it! We can live so much freer if we let go of preconceived notions of what SHOULD happen, once our kids leave our nest. They need to find their way; and they will, but not with you badgering them. Let them know you are available for guidance and advice, should they ask for it, but the less you offer it unsolicited, but more calm everyone’s lives will be!
