Overview

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.

Don't Leave, Please Go is the essential how-to guide for parents who are torn between being happy that their kids are becoming independent young adults, and being sad that their babies are leaving them. Barb Digiulio, Host Newstalk 1010 Sara Dimerman uses her expertise both as a psychologist and mother in such a powerful way. She offers a deeply candid and courageous month-by-month account of her experience with her own daughter in her first year of university. Her book transcends the limitations of a typical advice book, and offers, instead, a guided road map for a healthier transition. Domenico Capilongo, High School Teacher Sara Dimerman takes readers with her on a very personal journey as she journals her way through her daughter's often bumpy, but very relatable, first year away at university. Sara has packed this book with helpful advice for all. With time-synched pointers about what to expect from the final months of Grade 12 to dorm drop-off, through packing up again for summer break, this book reminded me of the wildly popular What to Expect When You're Expecting ... series for first-time parents - only it's now 18 years later and university-style. A funny, sage and inspirational must-read! Janyce Lastman Education Consultant and Case Manager: The Tutor Group - and proud Mom of a university graduate
