[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like a great opportunity for her. Talk to her about safety and street smarts, get her to promise to text you ever few hours, set up “find my device” so you can see where she is if need be, and let her go. [/quote] No, don't tell her to text you every few hours. Way to pass on your anxiety. Better to tell her to stay off her phone when she's out and about. Situational awareness.[/quote] EXACTLY!!! street smarts situational awareness autonomy critical thinking Stop tracking your kids Stop asking them to constantly check in. Raising sheep that are going to flounder in college or call/text you non-stop instead of making their own informed choices. But I think this generation of parents have given up so much of themselves in raising children that they secretly WANT their children to never grow up and move on. They want to be needed 24/7 and think that is a marker of good parenting. It isn’t. [/quote]
