Soliciting feedback from your child about family life before they move out, kind of like an exit interview, can open up the lines of communication and lay the foundation for the next stage of the parent-child relationship. Ask them about their feelings on the family dynamic—the positive, the negative, and the mixed. Discuss what went well as they were growing up and what could have gone better. Try to understand any concerns they may have about family dynamics without judgment. Make a plan for how you will keep in touch and how to manage the new distance between you.
