Are you adjusting to the changing realities of an empty nest? This series will help! This Part 2 continues what we started in Part 1 with parenting-related strategies. Next week, in part 3, we’ll navigate what this means for marriage. And stay tuned for a two-part follow-up later this fall, when we’ll reveal what our adult kids say they need from us, courtesy of a brand-new short survey!
In last week’s blog, we looked at how important (and difficult!) it is for empty nesters to switch from counselor to coach. I hope you got the chance to put your coach hat on and be an encouragement to your adult kids!
This week, we’ll explore two more mindset shifts – and the action steps that accompany them – that can pave the way for strong, mutually respectful relationships in these empty nest years, and in the years to come.
