Get Ready for College! How to Prepare You and Your Child for Major Transitions, New Roles, and Responsibilities (MIT)

May 06, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Amy Alamar,EdD

Challenges & Solutions

Your child is growing up and your role is changing. It’s wonderful to see them realize new dreams and make new goals. Yet it can also weigh on us as parents, as we see our job changing and worry about missing them. The family which we have grown comfortable with is shifting as we now parent an emerging adult.

Our children are also going through their own major transition. We want to support them emotionally and financially, while also teaching them self-care and independence.

College acceptance and rejections are an emotional roller coaster of anticipation, elation, and disappointment. If you remember trying to guess the contents of your college decision envelope by how thick it was, some things have changed. While college decisions may be delivered through email, web portals, or even Instagram now, the emotional experience is the same. How do you prepare them and how do you prepare yourself?
