This is a great listen for parents who are supporting and sending their young adult off to university.

In this podcast, Elizabeth interviews Pippa who has a wealth of experience of change. As a family they have lived in many countries and they all have experienced big changes. She has successfully launched two young adults to university.

Listen as Pippa talks about :

• The uncertainly that exists for students until they have the email/letter that confirms their place at university.
• How everyone has a different experience of the move to university
• Her view of the “empty nest"
• Some important attitudes and behaviour to encourage in your young adults, especially at this time of change.
