Parenting College Kids

Sending your teens off to college can be an emotional roller coaster for most parents. You're doing all you can to support them in this new phase of life, but parents need their own encouragement and help navigating this transition. It's okay to not be okay and to need some time to adjust to life without your kiddo under your roof 24/7. But just know this isn't the end of your relationship with your young adult, you may be surprised to see the new and even better ways you find to connect.

Parenting teens and tweens can be HARD, but we can help make it a little easier.

All Parenting College Kids

The high school and college years can be difficult for parents as we try to guide our teen children through planning and preparing for life after high school. Whether that is college or trade school or some other path it can be hard to manage not just the process of it all, but the emotions that go along with it.  We are constantly walking a fine line between still parenting them while at the same time we know it is important to start stepping back and let them lead.  Sometimes that can lead to conflict as our teens seek independence and we struggle letting go.  It’s not easy and we need all the support and encouragement we can get.
