Recenzii

Letting Goshould be a required text for any college parent. It reflects today’s college student’s reality and helps prepare parents for the exciting journey that awaits both them and their sons and daughters.”
“A seminal source of information for families and their college-bound children.”
“Filled with practical and up-to-date information, Letting Go is must-reading for parents embarking on this next stage of life with their soon-to-be college students. Undoubtedly, the best guide available today.”
“A sensitive, informative and well-written guide to help parents know what their children are getting into when they leave for college. Full of practical advice and psychological insight, it’s a better antidote than Valium for the anxieties parents feel as they prepare to let their children go.”
“As a high school principal, I find Letting Go to be an invaluable resource. Written in a humorous and accessible style, it answers the questions ‘What happens next and how can you deal with it?’”
