If you’re sending a child off to college this coming fall, it can be an exciting and difficult time. Especially if your child is used to a loving and luxurious home, the prospect of moving out to a dorm can cause a bit of trepidation. But there are ways to make the transition as smooth as possible. For one, be excited with your child about their new independence. This will help them focus on the positive.

And two, look into a few luxuries that your kid can take to the dorm. Even if they have to sleep on a flat mattress on the top of a rickety bunk, that doesn’t mean they can’t have Egyptian cotton sheet sets at their disposal. In this way, they will have one small indulgence and luxury to look forward to every night. And because these will be durable and long lasting, they can also make all the subsequent moves with your young college student.
