When my children were in elementary school, I was busy being a mom and the future seemed distant. I was in the midst of soccer games, mounds of laundry, and meal preparation. I thought my boys would always be rough and tumble, video-game-playing, eating-all-the-groceries kids. In a blink, however, they transformed from smelly energetic boys to mature adults living on their own, holding down jobs, and taking care of themselves. It all happened so fast.As parents, we practice parenting for so many years we often neglect to consider our future relationship as parents of adult children. We never consider how “parenting” becomes “being a parent.”The two seem similar, but there is a significant difference. Parenting is caring for, nurturing, and training a child to make good choices. Scripture assures us our hard work as parents is beneficial. “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6). Parenting means teaching them to love God and serve others and helping them learn to reach wise decisions and master taking care of themselves.On the other hand, being a parent of adult children is more about a relationship. Being the parent is about adults relating to adults. The rules change. If we don’t make the transition from “parenting” to “being a parent,” we can hurt the new relationship with our adult children without knowing.Here are 10 ways we may be hurting our relationship and not know:Need to pray for the adult children in your life?

I love using children’s literature to help students understand a concept. One of my favorite books to share with my students at the beginning of the year to help them transition to school and how we should act is How Full Is Your Bucket? (affiliate link) This is a great story to introduce how we should interact with our classmates and why. In this story, a little boy named Felix is taught about an invisible bucket. His grandfathers share with him that when your bucket is dipped, you feel bad but if your bucket is filled, you feel great. Throughout the story, you follow Felix and see different bucket dippers and bucket fillers. I love this story because students are able to relate to it. In our classroom, we then talk about bucket dippers and bucket fillers. We brainstormed a list of things we could do to fill our friends bucket. It is also a great story to refer back to and revisit throughout the year if necessary. I have also created a bucket filler and bucket dipper sort for students to complete independently. It is a great review for students of different ways that they can be bucket fillers and bucket dippers in the classroom. You can grab that free sort here: How Full Is Your Bucket Sort I hope that you enjoy this story as much as my students and I do!
