Resolve Conflict and Find Peace and Hope with Adult Children

Strategies and Conversations that Work

About this book

No one said it would be this complicated . . . or hard . . . or painful. But there’s real hope—and help.

Parents envision harmonious, loving relationships with their kids as they grow into adulthood. But for many parents, this doesn't happen, and it’s deeply disappointing. Many parent–adult child relationships are marked by tension, grief, and anger. While there are scores of books dedicated to parenting kids, there is a scarcity of help for parents who want to love and relate well to their adult children.

In Resolve Conflict and Find Peace and Hope with Adult Children, Dr. Kathy Koch shares biblical wisdom and practical instruction so these divinely given relationships can grow and heal. Readers explore:

  • what adult children need from their parents—taken from research and a survey
  • how we may be hurting instead of helping
  • the danger of assumptions and unrealistic expectations
  • how to work toward God-honoring communication
  • how to offer yourself—and your kids—grace, mercy, and understanding
  • complications caused by marriage, in-laws, and grandchildren
  • how to grieve the loss of dreams
  • how to successfully navigate a child moving back home
  • when to assist with finances and when to refrain
  • how to faithfully handle hot topics
  • the heartache of a prodigal child
  • the importance of hope, prayer support, and godly counsel

This essential guidebook shows readers how to navigate real pain so they can love and guide their adult children. What’s the key to healthy relationships with your children? You don’t have to keep wandering in the dark. This resource provides real hope, sharing proven strategies for less conflict and more peace.
