Editing Parenting (section)

===Adults===
Parenting does not usually end when a child turns 18. Support may be needed in a child's life well beyond the adolescent years and can continue into middle and later adulthood. Parenting can be a lifelong process. Parents may provide financial support to their adult children, which can also include providing an inheritance after death. The life perspective and wisdom given by a parent can benefit their adult children in their own lives. Becoming a [[grandparent]] is another milestone and has many similarities with parenting. Roles can be reversed in some ways when adult children become [[caregivers]] to their elderly parents.<ref name="Dellmann-Jenkins 177–186"/>
