How to Help Your Parents See You as an Adult

Have you ever felt like your parents still see you as their little girl, even though you’re already 19 and making your own decisions? I’ve been there, and it can be frustrating when they don’t recognize how much you’ve grown. Sometimes, it feels like every choice I make is questioned, or they want to double-check everything I do. What helped me was having honest conversations about my goals and responsibilities. I started sharing more about my daily life and asking for their advice as a peer, not just as a child. Over time, they began to trust my judgment more and let go of some of their worries. It’s not always easy, but showing them I’m capable has made a real difference.
