[quote=Anonymous]Start by asking yourself questions. If you had access to this information, what would you do with it? For example, if you had access to grades and advisor and your DC failed two quizzes, what would you actually do with this information? I was nervous as hell when my DD went off to college last fall. I was afraid she’d get behind and wait until it was too late to get help. But my husband and I decided that our anxiety wouldn’t be quelled in a healthy way by having access to her grades. Instead we talked to her a lot about on campus resources and that everyone at some point needs to use them. We also talked about how DC needs to keep a 3.0 to retain her scholarship and showed her an online GPA calculator so she understood how it gets calculated. We wanted to start this new phase of our relationship with our DC as her sharing information vs us silently hovering. So far so good! [/quote]
