It’s truly heartening to see more parents—especially those in their senior years—seeking support for their adult children, whether they’re in their 20s, 30s, or even 40s. The reality is, parenting never really ends. As long as we’re around, we want to continue offering our children the best possible support, whether that’s through advice, coping strategies, or simply encouraging them to reach out for help from their community when facing challenges.
Parents often feel privileged to assist their adult children with big life milestones, such as buying a car or home, helping with financial goals, or even treating them to a vacation. But perhaps the most profound role parents play is offering emotional support, particularly when their children are grappling with relationship struggles or mental health challenges.
Yet, for many parents, it can be incredibly difficult to know when and how to step in without overstepping boundaries. The line between offering help and being intrusive can often feel blurry, leaving parents unsure about whether they’re offering the right kind of support or crossing into a territory that feels too controlling.
At Jeff Packer & Associates, we understand these challenges, which is why we encourage parents to start with an assessment session. This allows us to help determine if professional intervention is needed, and to guide parents on the best ways to encourage their children to seek counseling support.
If you’re a concerned parent wondering how to best support your adult child through life’s challenges, counseling could be the key. Professional counseling services are highly effective in addressing interpersonal issues—whether in friendships, family dynamics, marriages, or parenting struggles.
