So how can we continue to show love and concern but not extend these in ways that undermine our young adult's journey of independence?" "Parents need to emancipate their young adults emotionally when these emotions exist, and we don't do the homework necessary to resolve these, our actions toward and relationship with the young adult will suffer." "Today's young adults are taking advantage of a greater acceptance for using this stage of life to explore and experiment before settling into traditional roles." Learn more about your ad choices.
