The Girlfriend's Guide to an Empty Nest

18. How to Know What is a Big Deal for Your Senior Kid (and what balls can actually be dropped and it will.be.okay)


Listen Later

Some things don’t actually matter in the long run. What happens to our kids in these formidable years ARE important … but not everything is going to mark their lives forever. Today we are talking about how to balance helping your kids thrive but not stressing them out with extreme pressure to succeed in senior year in all the categories.

We dive into today:

  1. How culture normalizes moms stressing out their kids

  2. The role comparison between moms leads to how we treat our children

  3. Anne’s hindsight of what she would do differently if she could go back and navigate Senior Year again with her kids

  4. The different factors that create a stressful environment for kids in the last year of high school

  5. Main pieces of advice for this busy time (and beyond) for moms concerning homework and due dates

  6. How hiccups in high school (mistakes) don’t mean your kid is going to fail at adulthood (we provide a powerful real life example in this episode!)

  7. The wisdom of sometimes letting your kids walk away from goals

  8. Something we need to prioritize in training our kids in that WILL matter in future yearsGet in Touch With us!⁠
