Parents can get very emotional when it's time for children to move out. But you should not let your emotions take over the whole situation. Your child needs as much guidance at this time. And it's your job to be there for him at this point of his life without getting too pushy.   You must let him decide on everything so he will not feel like you are still controlling him. Or else, he might not even listen to your good suggestions at all. First of all, you must ask him where he plans to move. Tell him to be conscious of the safety of the location. You should also suggest that he should move to a place that's accessible to transportation. If he goes to school or to work, the place should be near to his school or workplace.   Ask how he plans to do his laundry too. Since it's his first time to be on his own, he might not have even thought about it. You should also suggest which dishes and kitchenware to bring so he can live quite comfortably in his place. Suggest which linens to take as well.   Again, don't get too pushy but let him schedule the tasks he need to do before the move and make him follow through it. By doing so, you will be teaching him responsibility and proper attitude towards adulthood. It could be one of the best things you can for your kid and he will surely appreciate it later on as he matures.
