À propos de cet audio

If you’re a parent of a young adult, are these questions keeping you up at night;


How can I become the best parent to my kids? How can I improve my communication with them? How can we connect better? How can I help them to become more confident, resilient and independent? What can I do to motivate them? Why don't they respect me? Why don't they want to hang out with me?


If you're searching for these answers, this podcast is for you. I'm Shari Jonas and this is LAUNCH. Where I offer honest, no BS parenting tips that will help you to raise your adult child with confidence (regardless of whether they're living with you or on their own) and become the best parent you can be.


I address the most relevant, challenging and deeply personal issues that parents are facing with their young adults. Each episode offers real-life stories, research-based strategies, and no BS advice that will help you to become the parent that your adult child ALWAYS turns to, someone they love to spend time and, someone who will guide them to becoming confident, resilient, independent and capable of thriving in the world.


Join me each week as I tell it like it is. No sugar coating. Real talk. Let's face it, parenting can be hard work, especially because we're figuring it out every day. We're learning as we go, and we can always be better. I hope to inspire you, give you the confidence you need to connect with them, and to educate you when you need a little guidance. Sometimes I have amazing guests, other times, it's just me; a Mom of 2 grown kids, who practically raised my children alone. As an educator, author and parenting consultant, I know what it takes to build incredible relationships, while guiding them through life's challenges, and I want to share it all with you.


If you're ready to help your young adult overcome obstacles, while becoming the best parent you can be, listen in to LAUNCH: Parenting Tips for Raising Adult Children & Becoming Better Parents

  • #40: How to Develop Resilience and Emotional Regulation in Young Adults: What Parents Need to Know

    #40: How to Develop Resilience and Emotional Regulation in Young Adults: What Parents Need to Know
    Sep 6 2025

    Resilience and emotional regulation are two of the most critical life skills a young adult needs, but how do they develop and what role do parents play?

    In this episode, I sit down with Miki Johnston, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 30 years of experience working with teens, young adults, and their families. Together, we explore why so many young adults today struggle with handling emotions, coping with setbacks, and bouncing back from life’s challenges and what parents can do to help.

    We break down what emotional regulation and resilience are, how these skills are shaped in the home, why modeling matters more than lecturing, and how Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg’s 7 C’s of Resilience can guide your parenting approach.

    If you want to raise a young adult who can manage stress, make healthy decisions, and thrive in the real world, this conversation will show you where to start.

  • #39 Guilt-Free Advice from a Divorce Coach & How to Handle Your Adult Kids

    #39 Guilt-Free Advice from a Divorce Coach & How to Handle Your Adult Kids
    Aug 30 2025

    Divorce is never easy but what you never expected was how it would impact your adult children.

    In this episode, Divorce Coach, Therapist, Mediator, and Co-Parenting Expert Jill Barnett Kaufman joins me to talk about what parents need to know when navigating divorce. We touch on so many issues; the benefits of mediation, the importance of communication, managing the change in living arrangements, not getting in the middle, the guilt, the money and more.

    Whether your divorce is high-conflict or amicable, the impact on your family is one of life's biggest upsets, but there is always a silver living - which we talk about, too.

    If you’re worried about how your divorce will affect your adult kids or you’re already in the middle of it, this episode will give you practical advice, honest answers, and compassionate guidance to help you manage this transition and protect your relationships moving forward.

  • #38: Words of Wisdom from Troubled Youth | What Every Parent Needs to Hear

    #38: Words of Wisdom from Troubled Youth | What Every Parent Needs to Hear
    Aug 27 2025

    Sometimes the most powerful parenting lessons don’t come from experts or books, they come from the kids who have already lived through the consequences of what they didn’t get at home.

    Decades ago, I read an article about a group of troubled youth who shared what they wish their parents had done differently and what they needed the most from them. Their words are just as relevant today as they were back then.

    I want to share their suggestions with you as I believe they echo a truth we can’t afford to ignore and you'll understand why every parent needs to hear these 10 pieces of advice today.

    Change starts with you.
