Whether they’re heading off to college or whatever is next for them, this is a huge change for both of you. Sometimes, we don’t anticipate the challenge that comes with the change in the parent-child dynamic when the child is technically an adult. There can be conflict, frustration, miscommunication, and distance. Part of that comes from them establishing their autonomy, which is natural.

FINALLY. You are an adult! You made it. You’re 18 and you’re headed off to college or whatever the next chapter of your life is looking like. However, maybe you feel like your parent hasn’t gotten the memo on this monumental shift in your life; that they still see you like the high school kid you were. You need them to realize that things are different now, but aren’t quite sure how to tell them (nicely).
