Last month FamilyLife today interviewed author Jim Burns about ‘Doing Life with your Adult Children‘ – his new book. I love the subtitle: Keep your mouth shut and the welcome mat out Eric and I both listened avidly and I have passed on the link to many friends, so I wanted to be sure to pass it along here This 3-day broadcast (9/23-25) brought up many things that Eric and I are heading in to as Charissa turns 21 next month and Brenna is off to college. It is so helpful to hear from people just a bit further down the line from where we are in our parenting journey. Even the book title is a good reminder that we are heading more toward ‘doing life’ than parenting as we transition from control to influence. Not every broadcast hits so close to home, but I often end the half-hour glad that I took the time to listen!
