Looking Back: What I Wish I Knew Parenting Adult Children

As a parent of adult children, I often reflect on the choices I made and the lessons I learned along the way. My biggest mistake? Trying to solve every problem for my kids, even after they grew up. I thought I was helping, but sometimes I was actually holding them back from learning important life skills on their own. It took time—and a few tough conversations—to realize that stepping back was an act of love, too. Now, I focus on being a supportive listener rather than a fixer. What about you?
