Adult children
1. Dismissing your parents ideas and beliefs as inferior to yours because they are older. Better option: Be respectful of who they are. Ask for their perspective and learn to disagree well.
2. Becoming so independent you exclude your parents from your life. Better option: include your parents in your life in an appropriate way. Call, text and make plan with them.
3. Lack of accepting your parents are human. This carries with it - resentments, and unrealistic expectations. Better Option: Grieve the loss of expectations. Practice empathy and forgiveness and see your parents came from places of hurt and pain that have affected them.
