Raising Adults: A Humane Guide for Parenting in the New World

Raising Adults: A Humane Guide for Parenting in the New World

Are your children becoming adults, or just adult-aged children? Jim Hancock's straight-forward examination of the different life perspectives of current generations challenges worn-out assumptions and creates common ground to help parents train their kids to accept responsibility and behave as adults-in-good-standing. RAISING ADULTS includes an intensely practical 30-day guarantee that can transform relationships between parents and offspring of any age. The secret sauce? "doing nothing" â‚¬" by which he means not practicing the toxic behaviors that turn households into generational war zones. Hancock invested two decades as a youth worker and has developed over 200 short films for adolescents, parents and adults who work with kids. This book updates the 1999 edition. Jim Hancock is the author of TEN THINGS WE SHOULD NEVER SAY TO KIDS and the co-author of THE PARENT'S GUIDE TO HELPING TEENAGERS IN CRISIS, THE VOLUNTEER'S GUIDE TO HELPING FRIENDS IN CRISIS, THE YOUTH WORKER'S GUIDE TO HELPING FRIENDS IN CRISIS. His best-kept-secret is POSERS FAKERS AND WANNABES, a remix of Brennan Manning's classic, ABBA'S CHILD (with Brennan's wholehearted participation).
