My kids aren't close to college age yet but I have friends with kids going to off to school and they have been a little stressed. Here are some tips to help with this huge milestone.
--Realize you are still important despite your role being significantly different.
--The key to calm parenting is to feel your student is prepared.
--Make a Schedule to Stay Connected
--Connecting with other parents in the same stage is helpful; people you know personally or digital friends you meet via social media.
--Give yourself credit because you have taught the lessons, set the boundaries, shared the wisdom, and provided the encouragement and support they need.
