In this episode, Greg Audino narrates a blog post by Dr. Jack Stoltzfus discussing the importance of parents assessing their own actions and decisions when dealing with young adult children. Dr. Stoltzfus emphasizes the need for parents to focus on what they can control, acknowledge their responsibility, and avoid becoming overly invested in their child's success and happiness. The post suggests creating a parental report card with criteria such as avoiding control, acting in love, aligning decisions with principles, fostering independence, demonstrating unconditional love, and practicing self-care.
