Books on College Transition for Students and Parents

7/12/2013

Picture
Everything is changing. The excitement and anticipation that peaked in late spring turns to chaos during the "senior summer." Recent graduates are rejecting curfews and failing to show up for family meals, defending their freedom by explaining, "In a couple of months, you won't ever know what I'm doing." Meanwhile, parents are failing in their efforts to maintain peace in the family. Bickering among brothers or sisters reaches new heights. One parent or the other is locked in conflict with the child ... What's a parent to do? Advice flows in from every direction, but each suggestion seems to conflict with at least one other.
