Switching a profession or job is tough and can become more stressful if parents express their unsolicited opinions. Insofar as careers go, adult children and their parents can clash over something as seemingly innocuous as the job search.<\/p>\n<p>A little over half, 55%, to be exact, of 18- to 29-year-olds said today\u2019s young adults have more difficulty finding work than their parents did, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/fact-tank\/2022\/02\/28\/most-in-the-u-s-say-young-adults-today-face-more-challenges-than-their-parents-generation-in-some-key-areas\/\">study by the Pew Research Center<\/a>. The same study said 47% of parents 50 years or older with adult children in that age range disagree. Yikes.<\/p>\n<p>Parents and adult children typically grow up in different eras, which can inform views and value systems, according to Dr. Linda Rubinowitz, senior therapist and assistant clinical professor of psychology with The Family Institute at Northwestern University. When they disagree on transitions, such as with careers, listening and managing individual expectations is key.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSay a family has a small or mega business and want their child to take over so their legacy continues,\u201d Rubinowitz said. \u201cMaybe this isn&#8217;t their adult child\u2019s goal. That can raise tension. The hope is they won\u2019t cut off from each other because they have some differences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So how do adult children navigate parental wisdom (or, uhm, opinions \u2026)? Here are some recommendations to keep the peace in an emotionally fraught time of change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Talk to the back of the head<br \/>\n<\/strong>If parents\u2019 commentary starts to overwhelm their adult children, they can consider a clever conversation starter involving chairs. The parents sit in the chairs facing away from their children, who then get to have the time of their life unloading to the back of their parents\u2019 heads. \u201cThe parents then turn around and tell what they heard,\u201d Rubinowitz said. \u201cIt lets (the adult children) know if (the parents) understood what was said. If not, (the adult children) help them.\u201d But don\u2019t think this technique is one-way. Children also sit in the chair and hear out the parents. Turnabout is fair play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Start a \u2018Do Not Discuss\u2019 list<br \/>\n<\/strong>Hard-earned financial independence gives adult children the freedom to make their own career decisions. \u201cIf an (adult child) shares about their career, they might want the parents to hear it as an update, not as necessarily asking for feedback,\u201d said Shemiah Derrick, a licensed clinical professional in private practice. Adult children can internalize feedback as judgment or criticism. If conversations about employment turn into arguments, adult children can add the topic to their \u2018Do Not Discuss\u2019 list, Derrick said. As in, children can veto talking about their career with their parents. The end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strap on the parents\u2019 loafers<br \/>\n<\/strong>If parents\u2019 emotional investment in their adult children\u2019s careers sounds like an issue of power and control, rewind a little, please and thank you. \u201cSometimes they have their own career and workplace trauma,\u201d Derrick said. \u201c\u2018It was really hard to break into this industry because I was a woman, because I was a minority, and I don\u2019t want that for my child.\u2019 That\u2019s entirely fair.\u201d Try to remember parents also have lived experiences. Another reason parents might disavow a career switch: the fear adult children <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/05\/25\/how-to-prioritize-your-financial-goals-with-adult-kids-living-at-home.html\">move back home<\/a>, Derrick said. Parents are either living their golden years or that new life-chapter is fast approaching. Best not to blame them for this particular anxiety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Channel Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O\u2019Neal<br \/>\n<\/strong>Ah, yes, the <a href=\"https:\/\/fadeawayworld.net\/nba-media\/how-kobe-bryant-and-shaquille-oneal-squashed-their-beef-on-mlk-day\">Shaq-Kobe feud<\/a>. DJ Watson, a licensed marriage and family therapist with Pinnacle Counseling, uses this competitive basketball analogy to help patients reframe approaches to tough conversations. \u201cTry to treat each other like you\u2019re on the same team,\u201d Watson said. Parents might want some of the same things adult children potentially want for themselves: work-life balance and financial stability for the long-haul. \u201cYou might have different skillsets, different ways of getting to the goal, (but) both might be feasible. (You) have to remember you\u2019re on the same team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, parents probably want what they believe is best for their children. After all, they&#8217;re parents. And, face it, the possibility their children become just like them is pretty strong.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mollie Rotmensch is a magazine graduate student at Medill.
