I should note that he is also my child who hates change. I'm glad his sister is the older one so that when she goes away to college, he will get opportunities to see her in that environment so it won't seem as scary to him. He truly hates change. Which, in my eyes, is all the more reason to push him out of his comfort zone and live away from home from the start of college. Although he hates change, he always does fine once in a situation. He was worrying yesterday about how to find his way around the high school next school year. My daughter drew him a little map to show him it's not that bad. When he was really little, if there was a change in the routine, I would have to let him know the day before so he had time to think about it and adjust. If I told him in the morning that he was going to day care instead of staying home, for example, he would be monstrous until he got there, then he would be fine. You can't spring spontaneous changes on this kid..lol. So yes, 4-5 years to adjust to the idea of going away to college is probably the time he needs to think about it and decide it will be ok!
