Letting Go - For Parents

The purpose of this blog is to provide information for the Spelman Community, which includes new students, current students, recent and seasoned alumnae, and PARENTS of Spelman students. So this entry is aimed at those parents who are about to experience empty nest.

Saw this at Huffington Post. It is a two-part article, so be sure to access both links:

This past weekend I attended the New Student Tea sponsored by the Northern New Jersey NAASC chapter and one of the discussions with the parents included how to let go. Some of the parents were very emotional, so hopefully the information in this article will be helpful. No, it won't make the emotions go away, but perhaps it will put everything into perspective.
