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

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.
