Grown & Flown

Grown & Flown- The journey of parenting is a lifelong commitment that evolves and changes as our children grow. From the moment they are born to the time they become adults, our role as parents is to guide, and support them.

Nurture them through each stage of their development. It is a continuous process of learning, adapting, and being there for our children, no matter how old they are.

As our children enter the high school and college years, the challenges and experiences they face become more complex and demanding. It is during this time that parents must find new ways to connect with their teens and understand their needs.

Help them navigate the path to adulthood. The co-founders of Grown and Flown, Lisa Heffernan and Mary Dell Harrington, have created a valuable resource to assist parents in this crucial stage of parenting.

GROWN AND FLOWN offers a wealth of information, advice, and insights to help parents build strong relationships with their teenagers and prepare them for the journey into independence.

From academic success to mental health and college life, this guide covers a wide range of topics that are essential for parents of teens and young adults. With practical tips, personal stories, and expert advice, GROWN AND FLOWN is a valuable tool for any parent looking to support their child through the transition to adulthood.
