Perfect for todays understanding of emerging adults
This book is so appropriate for learning about todays emerging adults. Understanding their culture and their beliefs is so eye opening. The Boomer Culture and the Gen Z and Gen X Culture is very different. Until there is an understanding of the difference, it is difficult to relate to your younger adult. Making that transistion from Adult to Adult takes practice, patience, and as Jim says many time “biting your tongue”. Easy to read with all the necessary “hot buttons” to learn.

Outstanding book for a Church Small Group or class
I used this book to lead a small group at my church for 18 parents with adult children and we all thoroughly enjoyed the book. Itâs a great treatment of the issues related to parenting our adult children. The questions included at the end are extremely helpful and led to lively discussions.

Good advice
I really appreciate the advice in this book. Iâve recommended it to others. The only reason I didnât give it 5 stars was because it does have quite alot of religious references which may not always be applicable to all.

Excellent Book
I have listened to and read this book. Great insights and thoughts to ponder. Much to walk away with. Great examples as well. This is a book that I have reccomended to many and even used for a women’s prayer gathering to pray for our adult children and selves.

just what I needed
Wow, this book is filled with both skillful and Godly wisdom. It is easy to understand and put into practice the concepts for doing life with adult children. Our family is already doing many of the things mentioned, and it was so good to receive confirmation that we are doing things well. I learned many things I can tweak in my relationships with my daughters and granddaughters. This is a highly valuable resource and I certainly recommend every parent to read this book. Thank you to the author for sharing these tools and wisdom.

Excellent A+
This book was such an excellent read. I recommend this book to anyone with children between the ages of 16-20 and up. My son left straight after high school into the Army and recently got married to his high school sweetheart, my daughter who is still at home is 17 and will be finishing up her junior year of high school this school year ’21-22. I couldn’t have read this at a better time. I have learned so much from this book and after reading it everything makes so much sense quite honestly but while you’re parenting sometimes you forget that now you’re children are older and as parents we tend to still want to tell our children more of what to do, rather then realizing that our older children need us to listen and be there with our welcome mat always available and our welcome door open. Let me just say since beginning this book as I was taking the steps that Jim Burns suggests and applying them with my daughter who is still home I began to see a major wonderful improvement in our relationship. I now see that while she still needs her Mom persay, she doesn’t need all of my extra extra. Sometimes we can also over do it or want to tell them what to do thinking we are helping them when in essence at times we can be hindering them. Boundaries are important and at the same time how can our older children and adult children grow if we tend to be too afraid to really let go while always keeping the lines of communication open with our kids. I will admit that I struggled for awhile with letting go, and that is why I loved this book! This book taught me that that’s ridiculous, of course you’re children will always need you to some degree but you don’t have to be overwhelming to them thinking you’re only trying to help them along. They also learn through their experiences. I love my children with all of my heart and I’m so very thankful I purchased this amazing book, I learned so much I know you will too! Thank you to Jim Burns. What a pleasure it was to enjoy this book so much. I basically learned to flip my parenting role from always more or less delegating my childrens lives to passing the torch to God and to them to hold the reigns while being there whenever my children need me. The best is yet to come! â¤ï¸

Very helpful
This book has a lot of insights and wisdom in dealing with your adult children. It help me put things in perspective, encouraged me that we were doing some things the right way, and gave good solutions and ideas for areas we were struggling. I really appreciate the insights from this author. No one really prepares you for having adult children and this book helped a lot.

Just started to read. I’m at second chapter and I can tell you that it worth it. If you have adult kids giving you lot of problems, this is the book to understand and how to communicate with them.

I never write reviews but this book has touched me so deeply I had to. As a lost conscientious parent as my son is now 18, unable to work out how best to navigate this next stage of parenting life, I found Jim Burns and this book. What a truly magnificent book. I have such a deep sense of relief knowing I have it to hand and I will read it again and again to help me get it right. Our adult children need us to get this Rite of Passage right to allow them to grow and succeed in life and this book gives me everything I need to know and more. I am so grateful for it.

This is a great read. I really needed to hear Jimâs message as I was struggling to control my inclination to give unsolicited advice to our three adult children. Already I am seeing the benefits of keeping quiet! I am not a religious person, however I believe in Christian values and I think most people do who are looking for material to improve their relationships. This book serves as a realistic and poignant reminder of how to maintain healthy relationships in your kids as they fledge. Thank you Jim!
Amazon Kelly –
I have kids in their early 20’s…and elderly parents. I so wish I had read this book years ago! But thank goodness I have read it now! I feel like it has helped me be both a better parent and a better child.

This book is so helpful in navigating the challenges encountered with adult children. It is full of wisdom, practical ideas, and written with compassion, kindness and a great sense of humour. Even if you are not a Christian, this book contains numerous pearls of wisdom and practical suggestions which will help you in your relationships with your adult children. There are so few books available on this important topic, and Jim Burns has written something here that is honest, non-judgemental and hugely positive. It is a real blessing to me and the many friends that I have recommended it to, and it is so helpful to re-read every so often, to remind myself, amongst other things, to “keep my mouth shut and the welcome mat out!”
