Parenting doesn’t end when your kids become adults. It just changes. In this episode, Robin is joined by Kelly and Kenny Cook for an honest conversation about parenting adult children, family relationships, boundaries, and letting go with grace. Together they unpack five lessons they’ve learned along the way: when advice helps and when it hurts, how listening can be more healing than fixing, why healthy love respects boundaries, how not to take distance personally, and what it looks like to trust God when your children need space to become themselves. It’s a conversation about surrender, identity, grief, wisdom, boundaries, forgiveness, faith, and navigating the challenges of raising grown kids while staying connected. If you’re learning how to move from directing to praying, this episode is for you. Tune in now for encouragement, practical parenting wisdom, and hope for every parent navigating the journey of parenting adult children. You’ll be encouraged!
