[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cannot believe how many inappropriate posts I see in my kids Facebook college group. Questions regarding handling roommate situations (DDs roommate vapes, what should I tell her to do? Should I call the RA?), oversharing medical info (dd needs a gyn for an infection, ds is having anxiety) and then of course the pile of rants about the food in the dining hall (dd doesn’t like the food! What can she eat??). No wonder so many kids have anxiety. My mom dropped me off at college 1000 miles away and I did not see her again on my campus until graduation.

My kids are in preschool now, but I've been writing (and revising) a set of letters to give them when they leave, talking about situations I faced as a young adult, how I dealt with them, and what I wish I'd done differently. The idea would be to give my kids the letters, and say that they don't have to read them and are always free to figure situations out on their own, but if they want some guidance and don't want to talk to me directly, the letters are available.
