Bringing Home the Laundry combines a psychologist's advice with the stories and insights of parents and their college-aged kids. It reassures you that your child's departure for college does not sever family ties, but can mark the beginning of a deeply satisfying, exciting new phase in your parent-child relationship.
In Bringing Home The Laundry: Effective Parenting For College And Beyond, clinical psychologist and family counselor Janis Brody reveals the core issues facing parents and their college-bound children. These issues include dealing with separation anxiety, depression, decision making, and keeping in touch. Brody explains parental behavior that provides a secure base for children; reveals the underlying causes of (and focuses attention on) specific interactions that can prevent gradual separation; offers practical advice on solving problems for the student and determining the emotional health of family members; explores the family dynamics contributing to separation anxiety. If you are the parent of a college-bound son or daughter, sit down in a quiet place and carefully read Bringing Home The Laundry.
