WHEN WILL MY GROWN-UP KID GROW UP?: LOVING AND UNDERSTANDING YOUR EMERGING ADULT
Book ID/图书代码： 14560013B60375
English Summary/英文概要： It’s the parenting guide for parents who thought they no longer needed one—for parents who worry as their 20-something kids struggle to grow up; who are saving for retirement but now have to reopen the bank of Mom and Dad; who look forward to downsizing but have a boomerang child living at home again.
And it’s the parenting guide that says it’s all going to be OK—just step back but stay connected, and don’t forget to take care of yourself. Kids may be taking longer to graduate from college, start a career, marry, have children, but it’s natural. Just as scientists a century ago discovered a new phase in life called adolescence, there’s now another developmental stage, emerging adulthood. According to Dr. Jeffrey Arnett, the world’s leading authority on emerging adults, and his coauthor, Elizabeth Fishel, author of Sisters and mother of two 20-something sons, the time spent in emerging adulthood actually helps kids become happier, healthier grown-ups.
When Will My Grown-Up Kid Grow Up? covers every aspect of life for an 18- to 29-year-old, from that first taste of independence at college to that time at the end of the 20s, when the majority of kids are settling down. It explains what grown children are going through—intense self-focus, instability, a feeling of being “in-between” mixed with a breathtaking sense of possibilities—and how parents should deal with these changes, from six ways to listen more than you talk, to money 101 (and why never to use money to control your child’s life), to troubleshooting their failure to launch, to, finally, the dos and don’ts of promoting a successful transition to adulthood.
Because yes, they really will grow up.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是为那些自认为不需要的父母准备的育儿指南——谁在担心他们20岁的正在打拼的儿子；谁在存储退休后的养老金，但现在却不得不重新打开银行；谁在期待精减开销，却有个“啃老族”孩子在家里。
这本育儿指南就是在指导一切都会好起来，仅仅对孩子放松一点但仍然保持联系，同时别忘了照顾好自己。孩子们可能会花更长的时间来从大学毕业，开始事业，结婚，生孩子，但这一切都是很自然的。正如一个世纪前的科学家发现的称为青春期的新阶段生活，现在有另一个发展阶段，称为成人初显期。据新兴成人世界领先的权威博士杰弗里•阿内特和他的合著者伊丽莎白Fishel，一个有着两个20多岁儿子的母亲称，实际上在成人初显期阶段花费时间有助于孩子们变成更快乐、更健康的成年人。
我成长中的孩子什么时候才能长大？它涵盖了18-29岁孩子生活的方方面面，从第一次在大学尝到独立的滋味到大学结束，大多数孩子都安顿下来了。这本书解释了成长中的孩子要经历什么——强烈的自我焦点、不安定、一种夹杂着对发展潜力的激动的“被夹在中间”的感觉。那么父母应该如何应对这些变化呢？从六个方面去倾听而不是你一直在讲话，对于金钱101（以及为什么从不用钱来控制你的孩子），对他们的投放市场失败进行调解，最后，明白该做与不该做的事会促进成功过渡到成年。
因此，他们才将茁壮成长。(LNL)
