Based upon information in the textbook, what advice would you give to parents and their emerging adult children if the children return home to live?
What will be an ideal response?
The decision for the emerging adult to return home is one that affects both the young person and the parents. When emerging adults ask to return home, parents and the emerging adult children need to agree on the conditions and the time duration of the return to home. They should discuss and agree on such things as rent, chores, bill payment, freedom to come and go, and whether or not they will be allowed to drink alcohol at home or have overnight guests. Conflict will result if these issues are not brought out into the open and discussed honestly. Parents need to treat emerging adult children as adults, and the children need to view their parents as adults. While emerging adults do have many choices, if those choices conflict with the values and wishes of the parents, there will be miscommunication and conflict.
