About this book

Coping With Your Grown Children is the only book to analyze-and lay out specific coping strategies for dealing with-the problems today's parents face with their adult offspring such as: • failure of the child to really "grow up" or achieve full potential • unemptied nests • moving back home after broken marriages • turning your home into a "daycare center" for your grandchildren • substance abuse, cult involvement, trouble with the law • alternative lifestyles or homosexuality • physical or psychiatric problems • or maybe you just think there's a problem!

Reviews

An excellent resource.-Booklist
Could well become the landmark classic in this field of "elder parenting." -Jack Smith, Syndicated Columnist
