#62 When Adult Kids Come Home

Send us Fan MailYour adult child is coming home and you’re genuinely happy… so why does your body feel that quiet, low-grade stress? The real struggle usually isn’t the dishes, the food, or whether they pick up after themselves. It’s the mental spiral: Do I say something up front and risk awkwardness, or stay silent and risk resentment in my own home?I walk through a real coaching scenario where a mom braces for a two-week visit from her son, daughter-in-law, and grandkids. The details are familiar to so many of us: shared spaces getting messy, different habits around meals, and the extra layer of complexity when it’s not your own child but their spouse. We dig into what’s happening underneath the surface and why avoiding a clear conversation often creates more tension, not less.Then I teach the PEACE framework I use with clients: Pause, Examine, Align, Choose, Entrust. We slow down and name the fears driving the overthinking, align our thoughts with truth (it’s not unkind to have expectations in your own home), choose how we want to show up with calm clarity, and entrust the outcome to God. You’ll also hear practical, natural wording for setting expectations without apologizing, overexplaining, or coming in hot, plus a reminder to ask your adult kids what they need so they feel seen and respected.If you want healthier boundaries, better communication with adult children, and more peace in your home, press play, then subscribe, leave a review, and share this with a friend who needs a calmer way to speak the truth in love.Click the link below to set up a free discovery call to begin your transformation today.  Or email me @ [email protected] to find out more about how I can help.  https://calendly.com/smurph923-sm/discovery-callhttps://sharonkcoaching.com/https://subscribepage.io/The-Five-Things-Your-Adult-Child-Needs-to-Hear-From-You
