I'd never heard of a Gap Year until I took one, but it was life-changing; in a good way.
Whether your teen is starting out at senior school, or about to hit a transition year, it's worth talking with them about whether taking a gap in their education or work life is a good thing, because the earlier and more they think about what they might like to achieve the more they might get out of it.
In this episode we discuss:
- When is the best time to take a gap year?
- The benefits and the drawbacks.
- How to structure and plan a gap year.
- Transitioning back to home and school after you've been away.
