Failure to Launch? or Failure to Let Go? with Jack Stoltzfus
Manage episode 439582132 series 2833059
Jack Stoltzfus works with young adults who fail to launch or later return to “the nest”, and with parents who have a difficult time letting go, all the while making sure they maintain a positive, caring relationship.
In this episode, Jack explains:
- What’s changed: we couldn’t wait to get gone from our familial home, that’s often not the case today.
- Helicopter parents
- How a definition of “success” could well differ between parent and young adult
- Parental guilt
- How difficulties can breed resilience
- Don’t push them out, pull them out and how volunteerism helps with that
- The statistic that one in four young adults cut off communication with parents
It’s a serious subject for those who are in the middle of it, but Jack lightens it up with a few personal anecdotes. Watch for his upcoming book The Launch Code: Loving and Letting Go of Our Adult Children.
