[quote=Anonymous]Slightly different scenario, but a few weeks after she turned 16 my DD went off for a week long training program with a student run environmental group in the middle of the country that I had never heard of. All of her contact with them was online. She organized the whole thing herself, was getting picked up by one of the student trainers and shuttled to their site, navigating Transfers at various airports, etc. I’ll be honest the whole thing made me nervous. But when she came home and talked about what it was like to figure this all out on her own, she said “I felt like my own person“ and it was actually a pretty powerful experience. It really opened my eyes to the value of lengthening the leash when you can, even though it can feel scary as a parent.[/quote]
