One of the more challenging aspects of parenting adult kids is you can't control their choices. Jim Daly and renowned author, Dr. Gary Chapman, will encourage you to focus on being a good influence on your adult son or daughter. Then, John and Danny will remind you that subtle changes to how you interact with an adult child can go a long way.
