Dr. Jack Stoltzfus talks about being a good enough parent
Episode 1942: Am I a "Good Enough" Parent? by Dr. Jack Stoltzfus of Parents Letting Go on Accepting Imperfection in Our Parenting Styles
Dr. Stoltzfus’ mission is to provide information, education, guidance and resources to parents of young adults who are struggling to launch or let go while maintaining a positive, caring relationship with their young adult. More today than ever before parents of young adults are trying to determine the best approach to aiding their young adults in their challenges of identity, independence, and intimacy without either contributing to their dependency or their alienation.
For more than thirty-five years, Dr. Stoltzfus has worked with parents and their young adult children within the context of a chemical dependency treatment program, an inpatient mental health facility, a Child Guidance Clinic, a youth service agency, and a private practice. Originally Dr. Stoltzfus was trained as a marriage and family therapist working with parents and their adolescent children. Now his practice is focused on parents of emerging adults — millennials and the next generation of soon-to-be young adults.
