LAUNCH: Parenting Tips for Raising Adult Children & Building Better RelationshipsAuthor: Shari Jonas - Parenting Consultant, Educator and Author
If youre a parent of a young adult, are these questions keeping you up at night; How can I become the best parent to my kids? How can I improve my communication with them? How can we connect better? How can I help them to become more confident, resilient and independent? What can I do to motivate them? Why don't they respect me? Why don't they want to hang out with me? If you're searching for these answers, this podcast is for you. I'm Shari Jonas and this is LAUNCH. Where I offer honest, no BS parenting tips that will help you to raise your adult child with confidence (regardless of whether they're living with you or on their own) and become the best parent you can be. I address the most relevant, challenging and deeply personal issues that parents are facing with their young adults. Each episode offers real-life stories, research-based strategies, and no BS advice that will help you to become the parent that your adult child ALWAYS turns to, someone they love to spend time and, someone who will guide them to becoming confident, resilient, independent and capable of thriving in the world. Join me each week as I tell it like it is. No sugar coating. Real talk. Let's face it, parenting can be hard work, especially because we're figuring it out every day. We're learning as we go, and we can always be better. I hope to inspire you, give you the confidence you need to connect with them, and to educate you when you need a little guidance. Sometimes I have amazing guests, other times, it's just me; a Mom of 2 grown kids, who practically raised my children alone. As an educator, author and parenting consultant, I know what it takes to build incredible relationships, while guiding them through life's challenges, and I want to share it all with you.

#60: Truth Bombs, Tough Love and Tips for Parents of Struggling Adult Children
Saturday, 10 January, 2026
In this episode of LAUNCH, I sit down with Neal Solomon, Registered Social Worker, for one of the most honest conversations that parents of young adults need to hear.We talk openly about the real pain points parents are living in, the hard truths and why so many families feel stuck despite good intentions. We dig into what is actually going on with today’s youth, where responsibility and boundaries fit into the picture, and how fear, guilt, and over-accommodation quietly keep everyone stuck.Most importantly, this conversation provides clarity, direction, and hope.The bottom line is, parents still have agency. Their voice matters more than they realize. What they choose to say, what they choose to stop doing, and how they can show up moving forward can change the direction of their adult child’s life.If you are ready for truth bombs, tough love, honest insight, and a way forward, this episode is for you.Discussed in this episode were these tools: The Living Together Guide is available here: https://parentingfx.com/product-details/product/livingtogetherguideUnderstand Boundaries: includes 25 Ready-to-Use Boundary Setting Settings That Every Parent Needs is here - https://parentingfx.com/boundariesRemember to hit the follow button so you never miss an episode and please share this podcast with another parent who needs to here it.As always, thank you for listening!About my guest: Neal Solomon, BA., BEd, MSW, RSWNeal has been in private practice for over 20 years.
