Karen L. Fingerman, professor of human development and family sciences at the University of Texas at Austin, and Frank F. Furstenberg, a professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania and the director of the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Transitions to Adulthood, say that our relationships with our young adult children are vital.
"[I]n this new century, with delays in marriage, more Americans choosing to remain single, and high divorce rates, a tie to a parent may be the most important bond in a young adult’s life."
Experientially, I find this to be true.
