Sometimes parents don’t even notice how they push their adult children away from themselves.

If you don't want to face this problem, then you should analyze your own behavior.

What mistakes should you avoid?

Some parents believe that children are obliged to "repay the debt." However, it is important to understand: children did not ask you to have them and support them. As an adult, you made an independent decision, so there is no need to demand anything from children.

If you raised them correctly, they will help you as much as they can.

Constant calls

Adult children still need their own space to become independent individuals with their own families. If you are constantly calling them, you are literally not letting them grow up.

You can call often only if you have a very strong connection and your children share their experiences, thoughts, and ask for advice with you.

"Help" in finding a partner

In rare cases, adult children will take this situation with enthusiasm. In most cases, the reaction is the opposite. No one wants their personal life to be interfered with, because it violates personal boundaries.

Allow adult children to seek out life partners for themselves.
