Loving Your Adult Children Without Losing Your Mind (Or Your Heart, Or All Your Money, Or Your Soul)

Your kids will always be your kids. But figuring out how to adapt to the new phases in that parent-child relationship can be tricky. And if you fail to navigate that transition well, the result will be stress, alienation, and maybe a broken relationship.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. In Your New Life with Adult Children: A Practical Guide for What Helps, What Hurts, and What Heals, Dr. Gary Chapman—author of the worldwide bestseller The 5 Love Languages—teams up with clinical psychiatrist Dr. Ross Campbell to provide insight.

You’ll find help for moments when:

• Your adult child isn’t succeeding
• Your child moves back home
• You have conflict over lifestyle issues
• You become an in-law or grandparent

Helpful stories from parents and adult children on what works best are included. An online study guide is also available.

The Learning Journey compels the reader to see their own journey through life as a climb toward consciousness and survival.

Se explica que para la salud humana la satisfacci n de ""Las Hambres B sicas"" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento es tan importante como la ingesta de alimentos, ox geno y agua. Comprenderemos qu son las Endorfinas -la droga de salud, la alegr a, el bienestar y el bienhacer. Conoceremos variadas formas de producirlas en nuestro organismo, pero ante todo la que nos proporciona las cinco ganancias m s codiciadas: envejecer despacio, mantener un sistema inmunol gico invencible, disponer de una gran energ a, vivir alegremente, y poder superar cualquier dolor f sico o corporal. Esta forma nica es la pr ctica de las Virtudes: Prudencia, Justicia, Fortaleza, Templanza, Fe, Esperanza y Caridad. Queda demostrado que para educar a nuestros hijos en la Virtud, la receta no consiste en ""hacer que ellos hagan lo que creemos que ellos deben hacer"," ni mucho menos en lograr que ""ellos hagan lo que los padres queremos"," sino algo muy distinto: que dentro de un "Sistema Incondicional" de Caricias, Tiempo y Reconocimiento, les hagamos vivir la fuerza de nuestro Amor, para que ""ellos quieran hacer habitualmente lo que conviene al Bien Com n y al Bien Integral"" de todos los involucrados en el proceso educativo. Para esto hace falta desarrollar un Liderazgo Transformador: s lo quien se siente amado puede ser educado. Se propone el justo medio entre los dos extremos en pugna: ni moralismo r gido, ni naturalismo hedonista o utilitario, sino del equilibrio entre esos dos extremos. Como estrategias auxiliares se plantea lo que es la Reingenier a de Valores y Virtudes, se analizan las Bases Filos ficas para Jerarquizar los Valores Operantes, Reales; y se propone la sana jerarqu a de los Nueve Valores Universales, as como el rechazo de los Contravalores. El libro concluye con una explicaci n apasionante: Qui n Soy Yo? A la vez que se exponen los Fundamentos Filos ficos de la Dignidad de la Persona.

Elena Murzello cannot imagine going to the grocery store without a list. As she strolls through the aisles, she relies on her list to make sure she gets her must-haves and to help keep her from grabbing items she does not need. It was with this theory in mind that, at age twenty-one, she created a list of characteristics for a potential lifelong mate that still guides her love choices to this day.

In "The Love List," Elena shares her real- life experiences as well as information gathered from more than a hundred single, divorced, and married men and women about the qualities they look for in a life partner. Abstracting details from her interviews she created a process that anyone can use to create his or her own lists. Along with introspective questions to ponder, Elena includes sample lists of characteristics, the top three traits both men and women seek in a partner, an exploration of different types of relationships, and ways to diversify a portfolio of suitors.

"The Love List" provides practical tips and personal stories to encourage single people to look deep within, take risks, and learn to rely on their own unique lists while searching for the perfect mate.

I have been blessed to share Cori's journey through life. I have also discovered that life isn't short of resources; it is about the opportunities that we have been given. I have found that life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and doing things that used to be "outside the box" challenges the opinions of one's single-minded beliefs. You would think that by surviving with limitations, you're grounded or destined to only live life within your abilities and not beyond. Do not allow your restrictions to be an excuse to ground you. Do not accept that you can only live a certain life. Cori has taught me to think of a life without boundaries. Allow the sunshine to bring warmth upon your face and smile at those who are inexperienced or misguided to the fact that you are significant-challenged, but just as important. Being impaired and nonverbal does not define your life. It's the life that was given; this is who you are, and this is who we remain. We hope that you will perceive our journey as encouragement and inspiration, to live outside the box with no boundaries and to have faith in yourself and be certain of change. I feel that life just falls into place, since real life's destiny is not of our own choosing. The true measure of a person's strength is how we continue to exist when that moment does arrive. This is our journey we share with you to learn there are no limits to the life of experience a cerebral palsy child can have.
