Are you the parent of a “Basement Dweller”—an adult child who seems perfectly comfortable hanging out at home with little motivation or direction for the future?

You may want to encourage independence but feel uncertain about how hard to push, especially when your adult child insists they are not ready. Conversations about employment, finances, responsibilities, and moving out can quickly turn into arguments, avoidance, or resentment.

Join other parents of adult children who are struggling to launch as we develop a practical parenting plan that promotes greater responsibility and independence. We will discuss setting clear expectations, establishing healthy boundaries, and creating accountability around employment, budgeting, housekeeping, cooking, laundry, transportation, and other essential independent-living skills.

The goal is not to force your adult child out of the house before they are prepared. It is to stop making staying dependent more comfortable than moving forward.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Parents of adult children who are struggling with motivation, responsibility, employment, independent-living skills, or successfully transitioning out of the family home.
