Help! My 18-year-old Is Stalled Out and Not Ready to Launch | Full-Tilt Parenting

Debbie Reber teams up with educator and coach Zach Morris to respond to a heartfelt question from a parent whose almost-18-year-old is struggling with independence. Together, they explore how to navigate these critical teen-to-adulthood transitions with empathy, boundaries, and a redefinition of success. If your neurodivergent teen feels “stalled out,” this episode will help you rethink timelines, process grief, and build a more supportive path forward for both you and your child.
