THE EMPTY NEST

In-Studio Guests: Pam Cantone, a PCI-certified Parenting Coach and Larry Holman, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, joined host Shana Sheehy to speak about the major life transition that occurs when children leave home for the first time: The Empty Nest.

They’ll also answer questions and respond to comments from listeners who are experiencing this change right now within their own families.

Dr. Claudia Lampman, Professor of Psychology at UAA, speaks about the growing trend of 20-somethings taking longer in life to achieve typical adult milestones; and the changing demographics at the University of Alaska, Anchorage.
