The transition from being a parent of children to being a parent of an adult is far more challenging than I’d ever have thought. It’s a whole shifting of the paradigm. Constant change from both sides as we feel out how the roles change.

This article published by @theguardian.com is an edited extract of an essay, The Gifts of Being Read To, by Horatio Clare. It reminded me of how I feel looking back at that golden age of reading to and with my (now adult) son. ❤️ #books #children #beingadad www.theguardian.com/books/2025/j...
