Supporting Parent Transitions - Empty Nests

If you are the parent of a young person moving away from home then this episode is especially for you. For parents there is a duality to the transition experience. They have to support their young person while also managing the impact the change has on their own lives. In this episode we discuss: The challenges young people face when leaving home and how parents can best support them. Two frameworks to help parents manage their own change and adjustment experience. The concept of emergent adulthood and individuation and why parents need to learn to step back and encourage independence.
