About This Episode

The car’s been unloaded, the dorm room’s been decorated, and it’s one last hug before you drive away from campus. You’ve done it: you’ve dropped your kid off at college. With your nest just a little bit emptier and your teenager most likely on their own for the first time, it’s a big adjustment for everyone involved. While you may remember what college was like from the viewpoint of a student, being the parent left behind is a whole new role to tackle. On today’s episode we address the college send-off from the point of view of a student and parent, and how you can best overcome these growing pains for all.
