The Girlfriend's Guide to an Empty Nest

14. Things to NOT do Once Your Kid Moves Out for College


Listen Later

Should you hold off on turning their room into a crafting room? Is it okay to move from their childhood home? Track their location yes or no? So many questions, so many opinions. Today we are discussing an article we found, sharing if we agree or disagree about things the article suggests we reframe from doing when your child goes off to college. 


Today we chat about:

  1. 7 things we have heard you should not do when your kids leave for college

  2. How Anne did not follow the article’s suggestions and why that’s okay

  3. What a “highschool home” is

  4. Hear how Becky “breaks” a rule from the article during the podcast episode! LOL!

  5. The Biblical take on giving your kid space being essential 

  6. The thought of going back to the old fashioned days and how we communicated with our parents back then

  7. The wisdom of showing your kids YOU are independent, in order for them to grow in independence themselves
