[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach at a univ., and also have a child in college. I don't think one-size-fits-all. A lot of kids have mental health issues that emerge in college, and can feel very alone. If you're thinking "they need their space," it may be the wrong kind of space at the wrong time in their life. So this is not to say you SHOULD call a lot, or SHOULD be a helicopter parent. But that you shouldn't just follow a rule that DCUM parents think is fine; I'd discuss w/ you kid how much communication they want, but also be really keyed in during whatever communication to how things are going. If you never ask about schoolwork, you may never find they're really stressed about it, and all that may come with that.[/quote] Thanks! I'm OP and am so glad to hear this response. [/quote]
