I want your support for the work I am doing. As many of you know, I have created six small books on the six practices parents need to strengthen to launch their young adults successfully. These six practices and the actions young adults need to take are illustrated in the graphic below. The goal is to reach a place where young adults have achieved autonomy and self-sufficiency while maintaining a positive connection with their parents – my definition of a successful launch. The wavy white lines illustrate this autonomy but also show a positive connection.
As an end-of-summer sale, I have discounted these six E-books to $2.99, and I am now offering five paperback books for $6.95. Amazon is controlling the price of the Growing Apart book but a digital copy is still available for $2.99. Please download one or more books or order hard copies related to your current experiences or challenges. Also, if you find a concept or skill that you find most useful in one or more of these books and could share this in a recommendation on Amazon for other parents, I would be very appreciative. I’ve never promoted my books and need more purchases and reviews to support the comprehensive book I seek to have published in 2024. Your support in buying and downloading one or more of these books and writing a positive review would mean a lot to me.
