The fourth comic in the College Parents of America Humor series is online--just in time for Thanksgiving! This comic, a collaboration between College Parents of America and Hector Curriel, discusses a common bit of news that parents are thankful for this time of year. 

SInce 1998, Beloit College has published its annual "mind-set" list during the back to school season. It is filled with many helpful reminders of the differences between generations - between college students and college parents, between college students and their faculty and even between college age adults and their employers.

Don't worry if you're feeling a little sad about your student leaving home for the first time – it's perfectly normal, assures Dr. Bill Pfohl, a professor of psychology at Western Kentucky University. (And yes, it will get easier!) If it hasn't started already, you and your children will experience normal separation pangs.As parents, you go from having a lot of control over your children's lives to having less control. That doesn't mean you're no longer necessary in their lives.

The third comic in the College Parents of America Humor series is now available!  This comic, a collaboration between College Parents of America and Hector Curriel, reminds us how the first trip to a college bookstore is often overwhelming for both parents and students.
