take a step back from the center of their child’s life,” explains
Greenberg.
“At the university level, communication goes directly to
the student. Parents can set clear expectations with their teen
about communication they expect to be notified of promptly
(i.e., tuition, deadlines, grades, etc.) as well as communication
their teen can choose not to share,” suggests Howell. She ex-
plains that holding a young adult to a higher level of responsi-
bility will help him have a more successful college experience.
TIPS & TALES
“Give a quick hug and kiss and then walk away. Don’t go
back for another goodbye. If you want to listen to music on the
way home, make sure they are happy tunes.”
— Beth Ackerman, Staatsburg, NY
“I thought leaving my first born at FIT in Manhattan would
be a very sad day, but I brought a book to read on the way home.
This kept me from dwelling on the fact that we had just left her.”
— Terri Brown, Mayfield, NY
