Overview

Combining practical insight with sound developmental theory ""When Kids Go To College"" offers advice about parenting college-age children. Barbara and Philip Newman focus on the psychological development of the college-age child. The most significant development in this period - the struggle to establish personal identity - affects every aspect of the college student's life. By placing all of the important issues of college life - romantic relationships, decisions about drugs and alcohol, concerns about friendships and loneliness, the ups and downs of dorm life, and choices about major courses of study and careers - within the context of identity formation, the Newmans lend insight to parents. They offer strategies for dealing with troublesome and dangerous behaviour and suggest ways that parents can become effective partners in preparing their college-age children for adulthood by adjusting their parenting style. ""When Kids To To College"" is intended for parents and professionals in the fields of student personnel and college life and adolescent development.
