Getting Along With Your Parents

American culture often seems to make enemies of parents and children, pushing young adults toward personal independence as soon as possible. Surrounded by negative pressures, how can you continue to honor your parents -- love and respect them -- but still move into the increased freedom and responsibility your stage of life requires? In this book from the Life on the Edge series, Dr. James Dobson reveals ways to minimize the tension between parents and their adult children. Your parents have spent nearly two decades watching over you, taking care, sheltering -- such instincts are not easily lost. It's no wonder living too long at home creates problems. Nor that freedom brings equal doses of responsibility. Dobson explores these issues, but also the need for a shift in perspective. The transfer of power you long for is inevitable. In about five years you will find family dynamics altering with a force of their own. In a few more years, the balance will shift even further, leaving you, the son or daughter, as the protector. One day your parents will need you. Now, are you ready for life on the edge? - Back cover.
