Don't Leave, Please Go: what you (and your teen) need to know before heading to university or college (Guide for Parents)

During her younger daugher's first year away from home and in residence at university, psychologist Sara Dimerman kept a daily journal of both of their experiences and day-to-day challenges - and solutions - that emerged. Don't Leave, Please Go covers a entire year's worth of practical, social, emotional and academic changes for both parent and teen - beginning six weeks before her teen leaving home, move-in day, the first week apart, first month apart, until Christmas break, between New Years and end of the school year, and moving back home. Honest and no-holds barred, this book also explores the push/pull of emotions that parents and their teens experience as dynamics shift between them and within the family when living apart.
