You’ll Always Be My Baby: Parenting Adult Children

Sound Vision Canada is pleased to present an online workshop for parents with adult children, featuring Asra Fatima, Certified Parent Coach.

Workshop Outline:

Why Parents Are Never Irrelevant: Even Grown Children Need A Secure Base

• Acknowledging the fitrah Allah has created in us to be bonded to our parents.
• Adult children still need their parents, but differently: steadiness, acceptance, and a place to land, not direction or control.
• What security looks like in the parent of adult children: regulated, consistent, non-reactive, not needing to be agreed with to stay connected.
• Being available without overpowering: offering support vs steering our children.
• Building a secure attachment with Allah so we can tolerate distance and disagreement without panic or dysregulation.

Changing Roles: From Authority to Companionship

• What shifts when children gain autonomy, move out, marry, and become parents themselves.
• The move from manager to consultant, and from decision-maker to trusted guest in their lives.
• The grief underneath: feeling less needed, wondering where we fit.
• Grounding in tawakkul in letting go of outcomes.

The recording and presentation slides will be shared with all those who register, insha Allah.
