Guest Background
Rohini Ross, MA, MFT, works as a professional manager and is the Executive Director at Vive, which is headquartered in Colorado. She is an accredited M.F.T therapist in the golden state of California and adjunct faculty at the University of Santa Monica. Besides her degree in counseling, she holds certification in Consciousness, Health and Healing from the University of Santa Monica.

Ideas for Dealing with the Confusing Problem of Parenting Young
Rohini discussed how parents are affected by their adult child's challenges with maturing and functioning in society as independent adults. She also provided advice for parents who are struggling with the problems associated with a "failure to launch."
Young adults are feeling overwhelmed. They don't know how to develop competency and confidence in the world. They are stuck in fear and anxiety, which may often be mistaken for lack of motivation by parents. When parents step in to help their child, they fail to take advantage of an opportunity to mature.
Moreover, financial uncertainty makes it difficult for young people to set out by themselves. Often enough, the cost of living exceeds just what can be earned from working hard at a routine job. What's more, young people might have fallen into bad habits - like substance abuse or a computer gaming addiction. Lon touched on how video games may be an issue, as they supply an ideal emotional alternative to a wide range of reality experiences. While his guest acknowledged this, she talked about how the satisfaction gained from computer games has to be fulfilled in healthier ways, in ways that could provide meals and shelter.
Failure to launch is a real social issue and it's important for parents to look into how they can set up healthy independence in their adult children. The confusing problem of parenting young adults can be resolved by learning how to communicate clearly and asking for help from relatives and professionals when necessary.
