Bonus: This just might get your child to phone you and say hi, too
#93: Stay In Touch The FUN Way
You waved goodbye (or soon will) as your child drove off to their adult life while trying to hide your parent-tears.
Now what?
Do you have to say goodbye to those parent-friends you met over 12 years? Must you lose touch with your child's friends you've grown to love like your own?
In short? No. Having lived thru this goodbye scenario twice, I am happy to tell you there is a FUN way to keep in touch with everyone. What's more? There is a hidden BONUS in this method as well. It's likely to actually get your child to phone home and say hi as well.
In this podcast, I explain how you can set up a great way to stay in touch. It's a fast podcast that covers: (listen here)
-
easy ways to include anyone you want in the plan
-
2 ways to keep the cost low
-
what each guest needs to bring
-
pitfalls to avoid (learn from my initial mistakes)
I have organized and attended many of these and each time I left happy to have caught up with everyone. I also knew my daughter would be thrilled to hear from those parents she'd grown to love during her 12 years at home as well.
This podcast covers the basics of how to do this. As I recorded this podcast, my notes on how to make this an even more amazing experience for all took on what became a checklist (free) with great extras:
-
a step-by-step checklist to reduce your time and planning
-
gift ideas that fit a tight budget
-
more pitfalls to avoid that you really must avoid
-
great ways to "up the game" on your plan with just a small twist
So if you don't want to take notes and you want to go deeper (still very easy) in your planning, snap this checklist up if it makes sense for you. Click Below:
