Empty Nesting

This is a topic close to Becks’s heart as she starts to prepare for both of her children leaving home for university. One of Becks’s friends asked us to record this episode – so here you are! 

We spoke about: 

  • How it’s a different milestone to going to childcare / school for the first time. 
  • The social media phenomenon of making the most of ‘18 summers with your children’...what we think! 
  • The feelings and emotions that you have and the stages that you go through when your child/ren leave home. 
  • How Claire felt sad for her parents when she left home for college and how it’s important to think about how you manage the situation as a parent. 
  • Preparing for the empty nest and the importance of planning for you; what can you do that you have always wanted to?  
  • Teaching your child/ren life skills and how key this is to prepare them! 
  • How they will still need you (and the fact that they might come back..!!!!!)!
