Your teen may be spending his last summer with the family before going off to college. Today I saw a teen who graduated high school and his mother stated that the he will be travelling off to college in less than two months. Two months....can pass fairly quickly. Will you be ready to watch your teen leave home to go to college?
The summer before starting college can be such a valuable time for a teen and his family. This is a time to emphasize that your teen is ready for this challenge, but that you are available as a resource to help him with this big change.
Discussing challenges he faced in high school and how he resolved them can be helpful in giving confidence. And always helping your teen remember that he has a place with you when he needs to rest or retreat from the challenges of college can be especially helpful.
Make this summer a time that both you and your teen will remember.
