Our Forthcoming Book: coming 8/1/2025
Your Kids are Grown: Parenting 2.0
With strategies for moving on:
-
improve contact with your adult-kids,
-
fine tune your own life,
-
and enhance your relationship with your partner.
It isn't just our adult-kids who change. We, as parents, continue to grow and change throughout our lives; we don’t stop at adulthood. To complicate matters, our adult-children continue to grow and change during their adult lives. At any moment in time, when we wish to communicate with them, we are all in a unique, dynamic state that differs from any other point in time. How terribly complicated and confusing this all gets! The only "post-parental" roles are the ones which you must now create for yourself.

The Vintage Years:
Finding Your Inner Artist, Writer, Musician
After Sixty
Only recently have neuropsychologists and other scientists confirmed that age sixty and beyond may be the best time in life to take up an art form like writing, playing a musical instrument or a visual art like painting, sculpting or ceramics. Not only does the brain continue to grow new connections and become more efficient but wisdom amassed over the years enhances the expression of art. Add to that increased focus made possible by lifestyle changes and you have the ingredients for more satisfying, meaningful and creative Vintage Years. This fun-to-read book inspires, entertains and provides strategies to shape a vibrant future. Readers will:
​
-
learn how expressing an art form maximizes brain robustness and general health
-
find out why The Vintage Years are the best time in life to explore the arts
-
identify life options that enhance the senior years with passion and new interests
-
meet more than twenty extraordinary women and men whose stories highlight their artists' journey—beginning in their senior years
The 2014 hard cover book is available at Amazon.com and by order from bookstores. The eBook version is available on all eBook platforms from eBook sellers. The Vintage Years eBook includes additional in-depth interviews, new research findings, and a chapter on singing, dancing and senior theater. It also includes a "Call to Action" section that provides a way to think about the reader’s journey by cueing their memory and preferred everyday behaviors through a series of questions to serve as a guide and help create some strategies that lead to action.
