For Parents: Don't Try to Solve All Your Kid's Problems |

As tempting as it might be to step in if your child has a problem at school, don't. Let him or her handle it if there are roommate problems, questions regarding financial aid, or any other problem. Your child is now in college. He or she is expected to act like an adult. Having mommy and daddy step in and solve problems is not an adult decision. Let your children vent to you about problems, even offer solutions, but do not proceed to solve them.
If you call and ask about your child's financial aid status, grades, etc. you will be told that only your child may inquire about these matters. So as hard as it may be, allow your kids to do what is right. Let them learn how to handle themselves. Let them become adults. It is all too easy to continue leaning on mom and dad.
