[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my kids  are good kids who make good decisions, have good friends and are mindful to make healthy choices.

Yes, the anxiety remains because you worry about your kids.  Here is how I cope 
- they have access to our google pay, uber, starbucks, amazon, costco accounts. 
- we all do location sharing. 
- they both have newer but average cars with all kinds of safety features
- they live in safe neighborhoods and buildings
- they don't have a flashy lifestyle. they don't keep expensive things with them
- they have a support system - family, friends, money, open to therapy, regular yoga and meditation practice. 
- they don't have a lifestyle or drugs, booze, vaping, clubbing etc.  they are nerdy. [/quote]

You sound a bit naive but whatever helps you sleep better. Good kids are not totally immune from getting into trouble.[/quote]

DP: obviously it's not a guarantee, but after 22 years with your kids and watching how they handled hs and college and who their friends have been, you have an excellent idea who I on the right track and who could easily stray.  
That is why we got our kid help in Ed when they had leaning issues/anciety/no exec functioning/adhd.  We got them therapy and assistance then so ms and beyond would have a better chance at success. And for us it work--have a 26 yo in the same job for almost 4 years at a great company and living independently 2k miles from home.  Sure there could be some issues but not that likely.  And they communicate with us regularly and visit when we can (we arrange weekend trips and invite them along if they can) [/quote]
