August 30 2025-How Parents Deal With Kids Leaving for College or University & Adjusting When They Return

This weekend is a time of transition for tens of thousands of families with young adult children.

I talked to psychologist Sara Dimerman about how to navigate the upheaval. And It’s a trend that can be attributed to the broader economy.
