#117 How to Stop Rushing In to Save Your Adult Children
Do you ever feel torn between helping your adult child… and stepping back so they can grow?
In today’s episode, we talk about one of the hardest parts of parenting grown children: knowing when to help and when to let them struggle. Because while rescuing feels loving in the moment, real confidence and resilience are built when our children learn to solve problems on their own.
As you listen, you’ll discover:
- The difference between healthy support and unhelpful rescuing
- What psychology and human development research say adult children truly need
- How to shift from rescuer → mentor → witness as a parent
- Loving, faith-centered ways to say no without guilt
- Powerful questions to ask when you feel the urge to step in
- Encouragement for trusting God with your child’s growth
If you’re raising adult children and wondering whether you’re helping too much, -or not enough, -this conversation will bring clarity, peace, and hope.
You are not alone in this struggle, and you are a good mom!
