Setting Boundaries With Your GROWN-UP Kids Without Losing Their Love

Ever feel like every conversation with a certain someone turns into a debate? Or wonder how to navigate the tricky shift from parenting young kids to respecting your adult child’s independence? Kate Mason dives into two major family dynamics: the clash between thinkers and feelers in communication and the importance of setting boundaries when kids grow up and move out. She explores why thinkers crave logic and facts while feelers prioritize emotional connection—and how these differences can make conversations feel frustrating or dismissive. She tackles the dos and don’ts of parental boundaries, sharing hilarious and eye-opening stories about unannounced visits, spare keys, and the surprising reactions of her own adult children.Listen For:3:58 – Feelers vs. Thinkers: Why Does Everything Have to Be a Debate?12:57 – The Big Move: When Your Kids Finally Leave the Nest17:44 – Adult Kids Set Boundaries… And Get a Reality Check20:22 – House Keys, Privacy, and When to Step Back as a ParentLeave a rating/review for this podcast with one clickContact Kate:Email | Website | Kate’s Book on Amazon | LinkedIn | Facebook | X
