520 _aAimed at parents and guardians whose children fall within the age range of late teens to mid twenties. This is a time of transition to more adult responsibilities which some young people may not yet be adequately prepared for in terms of compromise, negotiation skills, practical skills, empathy and emotional intelligence. Hines and Baverstock consider how, for financial or other reasons, many young people are continuing to live at home for longer than was convention in earlier generations, or indeed the advent of the “boomerang” generation: young adults who return to live with their parents after having lived independently for a period. The book aims to equip parents/guardians to themselves equip their children with the essential qualities to thrive as adults. They recognise the conflict between parental aspirations for their children and these young adults’ own vision of what they aspire to and that their relationships with their children need to be fluid and evolving as their children mature. The book also emphasises the importance of parents establishing and actualising their own needs as their children become more independent: parents’ desires are often subsumed by the priority placed on their children’s needs. There are reflective exercises for the reader, such as multiple choice questions to establish your parenting style, how you approach change, and your thoughts about your child’s future. The authors encourage parents to ask their children to also complete some of these exercises, giving parents valuable insights into how their children perceive them/situations affecting them. There are pragmatic exercises to help parents consider to what extent their child has certain life skills needed to successfully move away from home or start a job, such as managing money, negotiating a fair solution to a problem, balancing social life with other commitments, and then advice on how to nurture those skills that may be lacking. The advice and guidance offered by the authors includes contributing to the household, choosing a career and preparing for the workforce, sexual relationships, socialising (and being a loner), health and well-being; unplanned pregnancies. There is a resource section with recommended websites and phone lines for relevant issues, as well as an index to allow readers to search for specific topics. Audience: Adult caregiver
