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..!!!!!)!

There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting!

Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here!
