Longtime family dynamics can impact how the boundaries between adult children and their parents become blurred. When do adult children feel the need to \u201cstep in\u201d and play active roles in managing their parents\u2019 lives? The reality of health changes often causes adult children to feel forced to \u201cparentify\u201d or reverse roles with their parents. Author Claire Berman offers several perspectives on these sensitive issues in her article in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Atlantic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> called \u201cWhat Aging Parents Want From Their Kids.\u201d The article can be found at <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2016\/03\/when-youre-the-aging-parent\/472290\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/health\/archive\/2016\/03\/when-youre-the-aging-parent\/472290\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly, Berman is also the author of a 1996 text called <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caring for Yourself While Caring for Your Aging Parents<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Her<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Atlantic <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article was written years after the release of her book. During the years between her book and article, Berman and her peers have aged and have raised their own adult children. She admits in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Atlantic <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">article that research for her book considered input from a lot of professionals, but somewhat overlooked the way parents feel about their children\u2019s caregiving efforts. She notes that her peers dread \u201cbeing badgered\u201d by their children. And that in some situations, they limit their time spent with their children due to fear of being criticized. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berman writes, \u201cAs parents get older, attempts to hold on to our independence can be at odds with even the most well-intentioned \u2018suggestions\u2019 from our children. We want to be cared <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">about<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but fear being cared <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Hence the push and pull when a well-meaning offspring steps onto our turf.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formal focus groups of older adults and Berman\u2019s informal focus groups reveal a trend of ambivalence. \u201cThey are annoyed by children\u2019s overprotectiveness but appreciate the concern it expresses.\u201d Feeling a loss of control and independence is among the scariest concepts for older adults; therefore, resisting ideas and assistance from their adult children is a common reaction. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approaches to consider when attempting to assist aging parents is to first make sure your parents know that they are loved. Avoid making your parents feel defensive and whenever possible be patient when trying to plant new ideas rather than \u201csteamrolling.\u201d As with many relationships, Berman also notes that extending thanks and appreciation for the role that your family member has played in your life can help limit situations in which aging parents are hesitant to ask for help. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Weatherby &amp; Associates, PC, our goal for our clients is positive collaboration with the family members they designate to be involved in their planning.
