Mark Wahlberg’s advice for parents sending kids off to college

Actor and father of four Mark Wahlberg has advice for parents with kids heading off to college, and admits his wife, who "doesn't like change," struggles with the kids leaving home.

"It’s a beautiful thing, just encouraging them to pursue their dreams, to take a chance on themselves and to dream big." "It made me feel like, 'Wow, I had a big regret not finishing high school ‘til later on, but definitely even bigger not having that college experience.’"

"But, along with the big ideas, you have to do the little stuff to accomplish those big goals. So, doing the work, betting on yourself, not being afraid of failure and just staying as close."  A post shared by Mark Wahlberg (@markwahlberg)

Wahlberg shares four children with his wife of 15 years, Rhea Durham: Ella, 20, Michael, 18, Brendan, 15, and Grace, 14.
