Like most things, the transition to adulthood is unique for each student. There is no exact formula to follow to guarantee success. But there are elements in the stories of others that parents can draw from to help determine the best path for a student to take as they transition into adulthood. Being open to the stories of others can help parents learn how to best support their own children through this important time in their lives.
In the July blog I wrote about the student perspectives on the transition to college. For the August blog, I thought I would focus on one parent’s perspective on the process of transitioning to college. This article talks about the journey of a parent and her son through their school age years. Learning about the journey of parents who have gone through a particular process with their child is so helpful and informative. Even if the circumstances of your family are different, there is something to be gained from hearing the voices of others dealing with the transition to adulthood.
