While, well thought out words, selected and put into a question, thought, comment or sharing of one’s information is a very good mode of communicating one’s thoughts, ideas or reasoning to another, there are more times we are called to stop and listen.
Yet transitioning from a parents with multiple children to parents of young adult children happens at different times for each child for they mature at different rates, in different seasons and decades, along with have their own unique experiences. Its so easy to fall into sharing our thoughts reasoning and personal experiences and offer a solution to each problem, when, all, they are looking for is an experienced sounding board to listen to them, while they talk out the pros and cons, as they are looking for support, not a solution.
There are many times, we need to sit back and let them work it out. After all, they came to you because you created a safe space in your presence. So enjoy the moment, and remember less is best.
