Rate Your Relationship

How would you rate your relationship with your adult children? Do you communicate daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly? When was the last time they asked you for advice or money? If you don’t live in the same town, how often do you get together? Do you and your spouse struggle with choices your adult children make? How often to family gatherings turn tense and uncomfortable? If your adult children have kids of their own, do you enjoy a good relationship with your grandchildren?

If any of these questions make you feel sad, regretful, or uncomfortable, this podcast episode is for you. Even if you don’t have children yet, this podcast is for you (you can share it with YOUR parents and use it as a starting point for a deep discussion).

What do you want your relationship to look like in the future?

When you start with the end in mind, your chances of achieving what you want grow exponentially.
