And what's great about all three of those, so the parenting one, I literally, I actually have a specific... And as far as parenting the adult children, Let me back up. One thing that can cover all three, that can help a mom navigate all three, the number one strategy is to shift your focus from them, where it has been for all these years, as a mom, as a full-time mom, back to you.

So shifting the focus onto you will help you not be, fill your time so you're not worried, constantly thinking about where are they, what are they doing? I'm going to text them.
