Description

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to Navigating Joy Together.  In this episode, Mark and I discuss what life is like two months into our daughter being away at college.   How do we feel about it? What is our normal family life like now?   We also discuss our first couple visits to her college. The first was for her first race and the other for family weekend. How did it go? What did we notice about her? Finally we share some great tips on letting go from the book, Letting Go A Parents Guide to Understanding the College Years by Karen Levin Coburn and Madge Lawrence Treeger. Some tips I have learned is do not burst your child´s bubble. Be a good listener without judgement, do not insert opinions unless asked, do not bombard with questions every time you talk with your child and let them problem solve on their own using resources at the college.  We hope you find value in our experience and from this conversation. We would love to hear your take away(s) and/or your experiences. You can reach us at the links below. Please share this episode with one person whom you know will find value in this conversation.
