| Karen Coburn is terrific. She actually presented the "Letting Go" session for parents at Wash U orientation 3 years ago. Her advice is right on target.
Our experience was a bit of the "I'll be so miserable you'll be happy to see me leave", but I fooled them. Killed them with kindness (and cookies, and favorite dinners and, and , and) and cried when I left them. But watching and listening to them grow up from afar has been as much of a joy as watching the early milestones in their lives. I think I'll go cry again now! |
