Description
More than half a million parents confront the empty nest for the first time each year. It is one of the most challenging phases of parenting, often creating feelings of loss, lack of purpose and crisis of identity which can lead to depression. Yet it receives little recognition. The book includes plenty of people's experiences; expert comment and advice; and a practical strand full of ideas, inspiration and tips. There is a strong focus on the positive as well as how to handle the changing relationship with your children to ensure a fulfilling and good relationship going forward.
