Episode 3100:
Dr. Jack Stoltzfus explains that parental burnout does not end when children grow up, and that with young adults it comes less from the number of stressors than from losing control and influence. He describes the warning signs and shares what actually helps: the right mindset, real self-care, protecting your marriage, and leaning on support. It is relationship advice for parents who are worn out by worry and ready to let go a little.

Quotes to ponder:
"It's not the number of stressors the young parent experiences, but the parental loss of control and influence over the young adult's experiences."
"Most young adults ultimately right themselves and eventually land on their feet."
"Self-care is not mutually exclusive with being a good parent."
