[quote=Anonymous]I try not to get upset more than my college student. Then brainstorm if there is anything to do about it, or any good parts. For example, my child got a bad freshman dorm assignment in a dorm that was to be torn down (but saved for another year) and was a long way (a mile?) to walk to her classes. There was nothing to do about the room assignment, but she made great friends and roommates that she has stayed with through college. I'm guilty of getting disappointed and worrying, but unless it is a safety issue, I try not to get worked up. Sometimes modeling resilience and the serenity prayer helps. In daughter's case I thought the long walk at night from campus to dorm might be unsafe, but t is a large campus, and people walk around all hours and I discussed safety measures like not walking along, using bus and other campus safety measures (what was under her control).[/quote]
