Emptying the Nest

Launching Your Young Adult Toward Success and Self-Reliance

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In today's rapidly changing world and challenging economy, young adults increasingly find themselves at a crossroads between dependence and autonomy, financially and emotionally entangled with their parents, sometimes even after having completed college. A host of new pressures seems to be delaying young adults' ability to assume the responsibilities of adulthood, diminishing their self-confidence and escalating the level of family conflict. In this wise and practical guide, distinguished psychologist Dr. Brad Sachs teaches parents how to play a vital and effective role in promoting their young adult's developmental progress by helping them to:
Understand the family dynamics that either impede or nurture self-sufficiency
Foster a higher degree of academic, professional, and fiscal responsibility
Effectively encourage young adults to establish realistic goals and create a meaningful vision for their future
Learn how to gradually let go so that young adults discover how to resolve
their own problems.
Drawing on Dr. Sachs's extensive clinical experience and his illuminatng and thought-provoking discussion of the latest psychological research, Emptying the Nest will support parents in their efforts to cultivate their young adult's success and self-reliance while simultaneously maintaining healthy family relationships during a stressful time for both generations.
