RE: Preparing kids for college

My parents always made sure that I was allowed to go places on my own, have sleepovers with friends and go to sleep away camp. If your child has not done this, then the best thing is to start small. Have them go away on their own for a few days. Stop cleaning, doing the laundry, and making them dinner for a week and see how they handle it. But with all this never let them feel as if they will be abandoned.
