#58 From High School to College: A Guide to Navigating Shifts in the Parent-Child Relationship with Drs. Annalise Caron and Suzanne Allen
Saying goodbye to your parents is often the last thing most college students are thinking about when they tackle their “to do” list before moving in on campus. In an earlier episode, we sat down with college students who shared their experiences with relationship shifts at home. In this week’s episode, we sit down with not one, but two expert psychologists to explore the challenges and growth opportunities that arise for the parent-child relationship when young adults head off to college. They provide valuable insights for both parents and students on how to maintain strong, supportive relationships during this transitional phase. In this episode we will touch on:
Communication challenges between college students and parents
The importance of discussing expectations early
Navigating the balance between autonomy and dependency
Tips for students and parents to communicate better, using strategies like DEAR MAN
How to build support networks for parents during the college transition
