A guide for the parents of the dazed and confused generation
identified in the runaway bestseller Quarterlife Crisis. Today's twenty-somethings are facing an unprecedented
cultural shift in which they're feeling lost, uncertain
about the future, and/or in crisis. What used to be the
traditional markers of adulthood, from getting married and
starting a family to earning a living, are increasingly
being delayed-and it's causing as much confusion for parents
as for their adult children. Quarterlife Crisis identified
the difficulties twentysomethings are facing. But what about
their parents? Guiding your twenty-something kid requires a
whole new set of parenting skills. Here, finally, is a book
to help parents navigate this tumultuous period in their
adult children's lives. Is it OK to let your kid move back in with you because he
can't seem to commit to any one career-and therefore has no
paycheck coming in? What do you do when your child calls you
and says that her rent is due and she needs some quick cash?
Just how involved should parents be in their adult
children's lives? And what do twenty-somethings actually
want and need from their parents? While parents are facing
an urgent need for answers, few experts are talking about
the subject, and there is little conventional wisdom to draw
from. In this invaluable book, Gordon and Shaffer identify
the complex issues these parents are facing and offer wise
and effective strategies for successfully parenting a
twenty-something "kid."
