Samenvatting:

The shift from daily parenting and a "full nest" to an empty nest can be a startling one. Many don"t know what to do with themselves when the job of full-time parenting becomes a part-time one, or one managed from a distance. The transitions from full house to empty house, to half-full house to empty house again can create a cycle of ups and downs that can be difficult to manage. This book shows how to manage that period of time when children are preparing to leave the family home, either temporarily or permanently, and how to move forward in a healthy, even rewarding way. Using real stories, the author shows how this time can be difficult but also rewarding, challenging, and exciting. Anyone whose children are nearing an age or time when they will be leaving the home, potentially for good, will want to read this book about how best to face those changes.
