Psychology suggests that parents who keep offering help to their adult children are often not trying to interfere; helping can remain tied to their sense of purpose long after it is needed
Parents often continue offering advice and assistance to their adult children, not out of intrusion, but due to their deeply ingrained identity as caregivers. This urge to be useful stems from a natural need for generativity, as described by psychologist Erik Erikson. While sometimes perceived as interference, these actions often reflect a parent's enduring role and love, especially as modern adulthood presents new challenges.
