How to Positively Influence Your Adult Child

November 21, 2024 • Guest: Gary Chapman

Dr. Chapman urges parents of adult children to assess themselves first putting blame on their adult child. These parents need to influence vs control and make requests rather than demands of their adult children. It’s critically important that parents maintain a relationship with their adult children, even when their child’s choices are heartbreaking.

Finding God's Beauty in Alzheimer's and Dementia

November 18, 2024 • Guest: Sarah Smith

Sarah Smith shares the heartbreaking story of navigating her mother’s journey with Early-Onset Alzheimer’s disease. Sarah’s mom, “Beauty,” was full of life, strong and independent. When she began slipping mentally, she and her husband tried to cover up the problem, and Beauty refused to go to the doctor for years. Eventually, Sarah’s dad had to ask for help and that led to many emotional, physical and spiritual challenges for Sarah’s parents and family. Sarah found comfort in God’s abiding presence, even when the stress and struggles with Beauty seemed overwhelming. https://donate.focusonthefamily.com/don-daily-broadcast-product-2024-11-18?refcd=2171406 https://www.focusonthefamily.com/episodes/broadcast/finding-gods-beauty-in-alzheimers-and-dementia/#featured-resource-cta https://focusonthefamily.com/podcastsurvey/
