First Day…..
![Page 7: You’re Gonna Miss Me When I am Gone - College Board...Letting Go, A Parent’s Guide to Understanding the College Years by Karen Levin Coburn and](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060412/5f10cb9a7e708231d44ada8d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Reaching the Goal…
![Page 8: You’re Gonna Miss Me When I am Gone - College Board...Letting Go, A Parent’s Guide to Understanding the College Years by Karen Levin Coburn and](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060412/5f10cb9a7e708231d44ada8d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Idea
Spin-off from my parent classes on the college admissions process
From a session I attended at my state’s ACAC conference
Talking to my Seniors about their upcoming changes…college summer orientations, picking roommates, going away vs. staying home
Hearing from my graduates and their parents
![Page 9: You’re Gonna Miss Me When I am Gone - College Board...Letting Go, A Parent’s Guide to Understanding the College Years by Karen Levin Coburn and](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022060412/5f10cb9a7e708231d44ada8d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Reasons
Adjusting to college has been marked as an important step in the psychosocial development of individuals as they attempt to develop a cohesive ego identity.
Young adults are required to separate themselves from parents and families and adjust to an environment where the direct support and influence of parents is no longer present.
Students whose parents helped prepare them for the transition into college seemed to transition easier than students whose parents did not help them prepare.

The Reasons
A study by Holly Schiffrin and colleagues from the University of Mary Washington in the United States, published in Journal of Child and Family Studies indicates:
an inappropriate level of parental behavioral control was linked to negative well-being outcomes for students. Helicopter parenting behaviors were related to higher levels of depression and decreased satisfaction with life.
helicopter parenting behaviors were associated with lower levels of perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness. And those who perceived they had less autonomy and competence were also more likely to be depressed.
