071: 10 Things I’m Glad I Taught My Kids Before They Left for College

When the kids leave for college, it is a trying time for the parents, and of course, not so much for the kids.    My husband and I have one daughter who is a senior in college in Florida, and one leaving in just a few weeks. She graduated in the Spring and is headed off to Nashville to pursue her dreams.   In this episode, I want to talk about preparing our kids to leave home and share 10 Things I’m Glad I Taught My Kids Before They Left for College. And I don't just mean the days and the weeks before they leave, but the 18 years before they leave.
