About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour

Is your college student about to roll in for summer break like it’s a four-month vacation?
Are you dreading the return of late nights, messy kitchens, zero initiative—and the tension that comes with trying to motivate them?

You're not alone.
And no, you’re not crazy for wanting a break from being their personal chef, Uber driver, and unpaid life coach.

In this practical, eye-opening class, parenting expert Kim Muench (aka the parent whisperer for emerging adults) will walk you through exactly how to shift your home from Hotel Mom & Dad back into a place of respect, responsibility, and healthy independence—without blowing up your relationship.


🧭 You’ll walk away with:

✅ A clear plan for how to set summer expectations (without a fight)
✅ Tools to help your student take more ownership of their time, job search, and contribution at home
✅ Conversation scripts for setting boundaries without guilt
✅ Supportive language for turning power struggles into collaboration
✅ Confidence that it’s OK (and necessary!) to say, “This isn’t working for me.”


Whether your student is coming home burned out, checked out, or ready to sleep till noon—this class will help you meet them where they are and still hold the line.

👥 Perfect for parents of college-aged kids (18–25)
🧠 Grounded in emotional intelligence, accountability, and respect


Let’s build a summer plan that works—for both of you.
