I hope that you find this information helpful!

  1. Great video! Wow, I didn’t know the transition period lasted from 18 to 30 years of age! I liked that you discussed positive things both parents and children can do to make the transition better for all parties involved, especially the idea of supporting the child-which can be difficult to balance during this changing time in the lives of both parents and children.
