[quote=Anonymous]As the Director of a College Health Centre, they get given away free all over the place. Including in dorms

And the helicoptering doesn't stop with packing your kids stuff for college and trying to give them everything so they don't have to find anything on their own. I get probably 5 calls a week on average from parents insistent to know their kids health information or wanting me to force their child to sign consents, or wanting to tell me how to manage their kids health...after grilling their kid for every detail. We have a lot of kids in counselling who are trying to figure out how to set boundaries with over involved parents.

I also get calls from parents requesting wellness checks because they haven't heard from their kid today.

There are many parents who know how to step back and many others who don't. Also many kids whose parents didn't raise them with the skills they need to be healthy independent adults. We now have to offer all kinds of basic life skills and basic coping skills because so many young adults are still like children due to how they were raised.[/quote]
