The Girlfriend's Guide to an Empty Nest

17. Practical Skills to Teach Your Kids to Help Them Be Successful Humans Once they Leave Home


Listen Later

Do your kids know how to write a cheque? Boil water for pasta? Balance a budget? Sometimes we get so focused on teaching our kids these heart concepts, like God LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY! Yet, we forget to teach them how to do their laundry or fix a tire. 


Today we are chatting about: 


  1. The value of teaching your children to write thank you notes

  2. Skills we were brought up knowing that kids these days lack

  3. Why Anne told her kids they didn’t have to work in college but why they decided to (a valid reason!)

  4. Creative ways to teach your children about budgeting and debt

  5. Why it’s key to remind your kids to consider others (including their parents) 

  6. The importance of sibling dates before one sibling moves away
