Men's Club Lecture: Parents and Their Adult Children

  • Ages 60+
  • November 18 at 1:15 – 2:15 pm
Three people stand in a kitchen having a conversation; an older man holds a mug while a younger man and an older woman face each other and smile.

Join the JCC Men’s Club for a special talk by Jane Conner Raucher, Ph.D., LGMFT, Associate Professor Emerita, Binghamton University. Our relationships with our children evolve, but not always in the ways we expect. Some parents find themselves puzzled or hurt by the emotional distance, criticism, or silence they receive from their adult children. In this session, Jane will take an honest look at how generational shifts, changing values, and life history shape these bonds. Open to the community, all are welcome.
