today’s moms and dads say it may not be a syndrome at all, but a welcome change, an opportunity for both them and their offspring.


SPREADING THEIR WINGS Sandy Martin had no illusions about her daughter Linnea’s post-graduation plans. From her freshman year in high school, the now 21-year old knew she would attend her school of choice, more than 300 miles away from her home in Lower Saucon Township.


“Linnea knew she wanted to major in education, knew she wanted to be a teacher, knew she wanted a school with a Christian emphasis and knew she desperately wanted to be away from home,” says Martin. “A young woman wanting her independence… she just didn’t want to be home.”


While Martin wasn’t surprised by her daughter’s desire to move far from home, nor was she hurt by it and didn’t take it personally.


“I was fi ne with that because I understand it. She just wanted her wings. I knew I would miss her, but I had to give her space. She’s a very independent kid, always has been from the time she was a baby,” explains Martin. “When you have that kid who wants to go, you help her fi nd a safe way to do it.”
