Short talking points for the conversations adult children search for most — respect first, clarity second. Not a script to force outcomes. DriveDecide goes deeper on driving observations.
Ground rules
Lead with care, not control
Pick one topic. Sit face-to-face when possible. Use “I notice…” not “You can’t…” Expect more than one talk.
After the talk
TalkKit is a family conversation aid — not legal, medical, or financial advice. For capacity or safety crises, involve clinicians, adult protective services, or emergency help as appropriate.
