[quote=Anonymous]I appreciate your concerns, OP. You sound like a thoughtful and caring parent because you're trying to balance your concerns with your daughter's ambitions. We've gone through something similar, and what I did was sit down and have a good talk with my teen. I let her know we were thrilled for this opportunity for her but also concerned about certain things she might encounter. I let her know her father and I were behind her in whatever way she needed -- she could call or text us any time if she was feeling uncertain or just wanted to talk. While away I did regular check ins but tried not to be a helicopter mom. It all worked out, and I learned that we had a very grounded and sensible child who could hold her own in a very challenging environment.[/quote]
