Synopsis

Sending your child off to college is a significant milestone in both your life and your child’s life. After all the months and often years of preparing for the college experience, you and your child will be encountering new and exciting events and experiences. Are you worried about your child will handle the independence away from home? Are you trying to be a supportive parent and not to be a “helicopter parent?” The journal, “Capturing the Experience: My Child’s First Year in College” has parents respond to prompts where they can record their thoughts, concerns, and hopes. The journal will become a treasured keepsake and will be enjoyed by both you and your child in the years to come. You do not want to let this important first of college slip by without preserving the memories of your child’s first year in college and the impact this year had on both you and your child’s life.
