Ideally, parents should adjust their parenting style as their children grow and change. Dealing with an infant is different than dealing with a five-year-old, and relating to a teen is different than relating to a child who has become an adult. But most parents treat their adult children like they are still young. They are so used to taking care of their children’s needs and dictating their actions that it has become a habit. They never give their children a chance to be adults, let alone perceive them as equals.
