So Your Child is Headed to College – Help Them Arrive Prepared

April 13, 2023 12:00 pm EDT/EST

Expert

Marc Lehman,LMFT

Challenges & Solutions

“You don’t know what you don’t know.” Most college-bound students, and their parents, know very little about what to expect after they arrive at school. It helps to be prepared for all new experiences, like dropping off their bags in their new room and meeting their roommate, to getting to their first class on-time, to encountering their first exam. You may be bringing your teen to a totally new climate and geography too. They will probably have to make all new friends and suddenly live communally with a lot of young people they don’t know.  No one talks with kids about:

  • The change in academic schedule where they transition from 7 or 8 hours in high school to 2 – 3 hours per day of college classes with an average of at least 2.5 hours of work daily to be done on their own. 
  • All the newfound freedom and lack of structure can contribute to freshmen attending their first week of being introduced to each class without realizing there will be a lot of work every week to pass their first exams. 

For many first-year college students, the dramatic number of new experiences coupled with poor self-care can result in heightened emotional stress and increased mental health issues. You will have to figure out your own new path and your role as parent. When do you lean in and when do you step back? Join us for this live interactive workshop where you can connect with other parents anticipating this new world and get answers from a seasoned clinician who has supported college freshmen across the country for years.

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. Join us and other parents as we discuss strategies to make the transition to college  a little bit easier for you and your teen.

College acceptance and rejections are an emotional roller coaster of anticipation, elation, and disappointment.

Previously hosted live small group workshop exclusively for Omnicom colleagues. The session was not recorded so there is no video to share. Handouts are attached below.

Once your child is in high school, you can begin having conversations about college with increasing focus. By junior year, hopefully, you and your teen will become more active in planning the next steps to prepare for their launch after graduation.
