Graduation isn't just a major life transition for our kids—it's one for parents too. When your child walks across that stage, you're not losing your purpose, you're redefining it; your identity isn't ending, it's evolving.
• May brings a weird blend of adrenaline and dread for parents of graduating seniors
• The emotional blindside of this transition often catches parents unprepared
• Letting go is one of parenting's hardest challenges but necessary for growth
• Family rhythm changes dramatically when children leave home
• Five intentional steps to help parents let go without losing themselves:
- Teach them to own responsibilities before they leave
- Help them understand not everything is an emergency
- Shift from being a director to a guide
- Model humility and grace
- Talk about disappointment and resilience
• This transition marks your opportunity to rediscover what lights you up
• Your parenting role is evolving, not ending
