Parenting Beyond 18: When Worry Gets an Upgrade

The ARMC

Send us a text

Motherhood doesn't come with an expiration date, and neither does the worry that accompanies it when your children become adults. Parenting shifts from monitoring vegetable consumption to wondering if your grown children remembered to pay their taxes or if they're making sound financial decisions.
• Establishing boundaries with adult children is crucial for maintaining healthy relationships
• Teaching financial responsibility early helps prepare children for adult independence
• Different parenting approaches work for different personalities - what works for one child may not work for another
• Open communication creates stronger bonds that last into adulthood
• Finding the balance between staying connected and respecting independence
• Grandparenting brings new joys and challenges in the parenting journey
• The worry never stops—it just changes form as your children grow
