Sinopse

Whether you're getting ready for your loved one to move out of the family home, OR - just trying to prepare them for independence, There is one important life skill they need to learn. And no, it's not about cooking, cleaning, or handling money... It's about knowing how to ask for help. I remember when I first started to gain more independence. Then when I moved out of my parents home for the first time and went to college. I did not know everything that I needed to know. (Even though I thought I did) I couldn't cook, clean, or manage my schedule properly. I learned as I went, and that's how most of us do it. What got me through was... the ability to ask for help. Many families may fear that their loved one isn't ready to move out. But no one ever has every skill they need at first. Listen to this episode to learn how to support your loved one to learn how to ask for help.
