Why I Created It

When my own sons left for university, I realised there were so many practical things I had never thought to formally teach them.

Not because they weren’t capable.

Because, like many parents, I had quietly been doing some of those things for them for years.

This checklist grew out of that experience.

Because eventually, part of taking care of them is teaching them how to take care of themselves.

What You’ll Get

A 7-page fillable checklist covering:

Food
Can they feed themselves and shop on a budget?

Money
Do they understand what is actually available to spend?

Independence
Can they manage laundry, appointments, documents and everyday life?

Confidence
Can they ask for help, meet people and handle feeling unsettled?

Emergencies
Do they know who to call and what to do if something goes wrong?

Real-life skills for students leaving home — and the parents helping them get ready.
