Even parents who don't speak about the event are likely to feel a sense of sadness because its the end of an era where you and your family were at the centre of your child's world. As a parent youll probably continue to support your child in different ways, but the main job of raising your child is over. It's a huge change for everyone involved.There are a few things that you can do to make the transition easier. Plan carefully for your child's departure and think about how you can help. Many parents take their child to university for the first time. If you decide to do that, be ready to feel a real wrench when the time comes to say goodbye.
