No graduation ceremony is complete without a proper academic regalia, gown and tassels for graduation. It is a day to memorize and enjoy for the graduate and also for the family of the graduate to be. If you are a swollen with pride parent whose son is going to get a doctoral degree then there are so many reasons for you to rejoice. Go and let no stones upturned in making the day extraordinary for him. After all he is your own child so why should you step back from doing it.
Your son has a doctoral graduation degree in his hand now. Surely he is a grown up person now but it does not provide you with a reason that he is grown up and does not need any admiration. Though the children are going to wear their Doctoral Regalia, they still need appreciation. It is a natural human tendency to hear good words of appreciation and approbation. Children no matter they are in kindergarten or doctoral, they will expect gifts and presents from the parents. And when your son has a doctoral degree in his hand then it means that you will have to be very selective in choosing a gift for him.
Open a bank account for them: Your son has done all his academic studies and is quite possible that he might do some further research work or do some writing or teaching. All this means that he will need books and journals. He will need money to follow his dream. If you want your son to gather more accolades then let money not be a problem in his research. Let him be engrossed into his books without thinking about the burden of money. One day you will be more proud of him. Put some money in his account on monthly basis and let him know that you will be there for him in all ways of life.
Arrange a party in his honor: Now since you have bestowed him with the most exceptional gift then also think about the most unique graduation party. One thing is sure that your son is mature now and does not believe much in partying and night outs. So keeping with his mood and liking it is better that you host a party only for some selected persons. When the guest list is small then it is better that you arrange a very good party. You can choose a good restaurant and book table or two according to the number of guests. Keeping a party in the restaurant will save your energy and time from arranging things on your own.
