How to talk to your adult children #parenting #advice #familygoals
In this short video, the speaker shares his top parenting advice, which he learned from an FBI hostage negotiator. He explains that, like hostage situations, conversations with adult children become unproductive when the parties feel threatened. Many parents use confrontational language—such as demanding a job or accusing the child of not being serious—causing defensiveness. To foster honest dialogue, the speaker recommends lowering the perceived threat level, asking open‑ended questions, and slowing the pace of the conversation. By treating discussions as collaborative rather than courtroom‑like, parents can create a safe environment where adult children feel comfortable sharing their thoughts. The video ends with a call to follow the creator for more tips on having constructive conversations with adult children.
