About this listen

 This weekend is a time of transition for tens of thousands of families with young adult children. Seeing them off to college and university is a milestone that raises mixed emotions like anxiety, sadness and excitement - for both parent and child. I talked to psychologist Sara Dimerman about how to navigate the upheaval. And It’s a trend that can be attributed to the broader economy. But when adult children move back with their parents it can feel like a big step backwards and a big burden for both sides. Psychologist DR. Oren Amitay told me a big part of his practice is dealing with that family strife.
