Even though living in an empty nest has its emotional negatives, it also frees up quite a bit of space in your home, especially. You also may be glad, because now you will have extra room space to redecorate and refurnish to your liking. Empty Nest Syndrome is, simply put, dealing with the emotional, physical, and psychological differences you experience once your child, or children, ultimately leaves home for school or work, usually between the ages of 18 and 23. Now I am not suggesting that you pack all of your child's belongings into boxes and completely forget about them. It may sound a tad shallow to redecorate your children's rooms immediately after they move out, but it does provide for a healthy remedy to cope with the difficulties of dealing with Empty Nest Syndrome.

Once your youngest child leaves for college, mixed feelings will become more and more apparent, feeling both sad and deva at the same time sad because your youngest baby is leaving the comfort and safety of your home to venture out into the world, yet orelle because you are a proud parent of a promising young adult ready to tackle the world.
