If you’re dealing with adult children at home — or kids who never left home — you’re not alone.
My name is Christina Newberry, and since 2007 I’ve been helping thousands of parents like you make the best of having adult children living at home.
As an adult who successfully lived with my parents after leaving home — twice — I’ve learned a few key strategies to avoid common mistakes. I combined these with proven communication tools and in-depth research to develop a step-by-step guide to surviving (and thriving!) when your child returns.
My advice has been featured in publications like The New York Times and The Globe and Mail, and I’ve been interviewed for radio and TV shows all over the world – I was even featured in a CBC documentary.

I know things may seem challenging now, but having a plan in place can make it all so much easier!
Here’s the survival package I’ve created for you:
