No matter what comes between you and your adult child, you can still foster a strong relationship.

Parents are often stunned when their children reach adulthood and disregard the values, practices, and faith commitments they were raised with. Whether these differences are over church, politics, sexuality and gender, addiction, or another issue, parents struggle to know what went wrong.

But there's good news: In the midst of uncertainty, you can trade heartache for hope.

In When Your Adult Child Strays, author, speaker, and podcaster Jim Burns gives practical advice on key areas of conflict and offers guidance on how to foster a strong relationship with your adult child. As a trusted expert on family, parenting, and marriage, Jim will help you:

  • Rebuild trust with an adult child who has rejected your traditions
  • Lower your emotional reactivity in heated conversations
  • Learn how to validate your adult child's feelings without trying to be right
  • Move from advice giver to mentor
  • Understand the differences between Nomads, Prodigals, and Exiles
  • Avoid being defined by your adult child's choices
  • Maintaining a healthy relationship with your adult child is hard. But with God's help, hope and healing are within reach.
