A note for parents of college-bound youth
Parents always want to know where their children are and what they are doing. Because they adore us and wish that everything will be perfect in our life. To help cope with the fear that can follow the distance that separates them, Radford University’s Center for Counseling and Student Development recommends parents take this passage as another developmental level.
Parents should not be affected if problems burst forth issues (cars, money, or curfews).
To help prevent common traps, they advise establishing well-defined guidelines recommending how the parents will act while their children are away, what their regarding grades are expectations, and what is permissible financially.
Parents should start letting more freedom for their children, as long as it is followed by evidence of responsibility. Parents should not be astonished if once their offspring behave in ways that seem rebel. Ideally, responsibility and freedom would always go together and we would be flawless people. But that is fantastic
world.
Parents need not hopelessness if their children go through the period when they seem critical and aloof. In your kid’s eyes, you’ll unexpectedly know a lot more one time they get to be about 25.
