As my son has started touring universities, I’m finding I have conflicted feelings. I want to help him out the door, but he’s still my baby.

I desperately wanted my kids to have an easier time dealing with the world than I did. But they’ve taught me so much.

Dear Mom: As a kid, I always thought it was funny that you didn’t get caught up in the hoopla that came with Mother’s Day.

Sleep is a natural function that is necessary for a healthy, productive and happy life. Don’t judge me – I sleep when the baby sleeps.

The forest was quiet. And then I heard you. “You’re so brave, Elsie. Elsie, you’re so brave.” You were just thinking, out loud. Your inner voice apparent.

But when they do get into college (and they will), how do we know if they are ready to go? How do we let go as parents this year—on some things—but not everything? How do WE know they are prepared, and what can we do to ensure they are?
