When your child goes off to college, starts a career, or gets married, how does your role as mom and dad change? In this program, Chip continues his insightful conversation with Jim Burns, "Doing Life with Your Adult Children." They discuss this dramatic, relational shift from one of direct authority to one of mutual respect, which causes many parents to feel lost about their place in their kids' lives.
