Is Your Adult Child Struggling to Launch? You're Not Alone.
As parents, we all hope to see our children grow into independent, thriving adults. But what happens when that next step doesn’t come? If your adult child is still living at home, avoiding responsibilities, or feeling lost and unmotivated, you may be witnessing signs of “failure to launch.”
This growing phenomenon can take a toll on both parents and young adults—emotionally, financially, and relationally. At Wilson Counseling in Texas, we specialize in helping families navigate these complex transitions. By recognizing the signs early and seeking the right kind of support, it’s absolutely possible to move from stuck to stable, with care and compassion leading the way.
It’s hard to know what to do when your child is struggling emotionally. You want to be there for them, but sometimes everything you try is not working and it’s time to call in some help. That is exactly where child therapy can be a support to you and your child. We have trained child therapists who can give your child an outlet and tools to deal with hard things, as well as give you advice for how to best come alongside your child.
You can never really be ready for the harrowing journey that is parenting. It can be wonderful--magical, even--when things are smooth, and your kids are happy. Sometimes, however, it can seem like a total failure, where you feel clueless and ill-suited to parenthood. And, because the stakes are so high, it’s painful to feel like a failure at one of the most important things you will ever do.

As the parent who never has the color coded schedule, doesn't have a Pintrest board for what to do with my kids on rainy days, and is not the first one to sign up for that school field trip to the Renaissance Festival, I appreciated this Huffington Post article entitled, "Parents, It's Ok If You're Barely Getting By Right Now.
I had a parent call me monthly about her student.She would call anytime he was close to failing and would ask how can we prevent him from failing. She also told me that she emails his teacher almost weekly, and couldn’t understand why she hadn’t heard anything back. I listened empathetically to her talk then asked, "What is the harm in failing?"
I get a lot of questions about parenting. One of the categories of questions I get is about how to help kids become healthy eaters and avoid disordered eating and poor body image. One of my most read blog posts is entitled "How to Not Screw Up Your Kid's Body Image." I also have another more recent post entitled "Children and Eating - Developing Non-Disordered Eating Habits" and one entitled "How to Not Screw Up Your Kid's Body Image - Developing Healthy Eating Habits in Children."
