[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]18 year old that says they are an adult, but you still pay all the bills or a 25 year old who has a job? First of all, separate out anything that is not important. Don’t be the problem solver in their life. First question I ask is, “What’s the plan?” If it seems reasonable, let it go. If it’s unreasonable , ask some open ended questions. Also, sometimes, natural consequences are a good experience. Be more specific OP and we can help.[/quote] I agree with this. I find myself first asking “how do you feel about that” so they share their plan and views. I also only offer my opinion when directly asked. Sometimes they just want to vent. It’s important to remember to listen and process before offering solutions and opinions. [/quote]
