The Part 2 follow-up from my previous post on supporting our teen & young adult kids without becoming enmeshed. If you missed it, go back one.

What is hardest for you with this?

The parenting shift from teen to adult is one of the hardest transitions.

We go from being needed daily…
to being needed differently.

And sometimes that loss of control feels like loss of closeness.

But autonomy is not rejection.
It’s development.

If you’re parenting a college student or young adult:

What’s been harder for you —
➡️ Letting go of control
➡️ Or, managing your own anxiety?

Drop a 🧡 if the challenges of this stage of parenting have surprised you.

From my counseling room bookshelf, my collection of body image and eating disorder books. Be sure to zoom in to see all the titles, some of my favorites like Julie Lowe‘s A Student’s Guide to Body Image are hard to see.

As a therapist the ones I pull from most are Eight Keys to Recovery from an Eating Disorder and Life without Ed.

As a parent, Table for Two, Chasing Silhouettes and Sick Enough are insightful reads.

The 40-Day Body Image workbook and Image Restored are excellent work books and Hungry is the honest story of my friend Caroline Cook who overcame an eating disorder.

If you know of one I’m missing, be sure to let me know! And please share with any friend who might need to know about these resources!

Previously I posted on How to Help Your Teen Support a Friend Struggling with an Eating Disorder. Be sure to bookmark it in case you need it later; could serve as a helpful guide for other issues too.

But what if you are worried about your own child?! First, I’m sorry. I’ve walked that road and know the fear. It’s the reason I’m sharing about eating disorders all week—I want to help other parents on this journey.

Be sure to check out my ED/Body Image highlight icon for more resources.

Someone struggling with an eating disorder carries

Someone struggling with an eating disorder carries a lot of shame, can tend to isolate and incidentally pushes people away. But to have a friend who draws near anyway is a tremendous gift. It tells the one struggling, “You’re not too much. You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m here.”

Let’s help our teens be that kind of friend! It may not be an eating disorder but some other trial or trauma in which someone needs another who pursues💞!

For whatever you are going through and struggling

For whatever you are going through and struggling to trust God in, here is a breath prayer I often default to:

LORD, HELP ME.
HELP ME TRUST YOU.
GIVE ME YOUR PEACE.
AMEN.

Prayer can be just that. Sometimes it’s all the words we have. But even something this simple helps me surrender my control to the God who sees & knows all things.

My prayer today for myself, for my clients, for you—is that He who is our Peace would fill us so completely with his perfect peace that our minds would stay on him and not be taken captive by the fear of the unknown.

I posted previously about building a strong relationship with our adult children and their spouses, now I’m backing it up to the teen years.

Click through and let me hear from you—your further questions or take-aways. I would love nothing more than to help parents bridge the gap of relational disconnect with teens.
