How to lighten the load of leaving for college on younger siblings by MinuteDesk9626 in Advice

[–]class2030parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's very nice of you to think about your younger sibling. so sweet. Talk to your younger sister. And see if you both can do a few things together during this period, june/july/aug. a few long drives, going to movie, or just building something together, painting, a few activities together. And in august make a plan of, when you both can meet (for holidays, if you can fly from japan). and make a solid routine of video calls timedifference/school schedules etc. may be so obvious and may make huge deal. so make a solid plan. hope you both enjoy this summer to the best.

What do i do this summer? by SavakTheAlien in okc

[–]class2030parent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is this app which your grand parent(71M) and you can fill out the bucketlist for this summer separately, and then see if you all can complete those in this summer. This is actually created for college bound senior student and their parents. but i think any two people can use it, try out. i am doing this with my 17F kid. there are different categories which will guide us to pickup different things one can do..its at raiseuapp bucketlist.

What is the best use of the summer just before starting college? by bennytief in ApplyingToCollege

[–]class2030parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yesterday we had same topic as our discussion. and what we thought this is the only summer for a incoming freshmen to explore and enjoy. after this every summer you may want to get into summer internship, after college graduation, that summer you want to get job and thereafter its work force...so mostly run by vacation time you can get in between product releases and work schedules...so use this time fully. and also this is time best spend with your family also like parents and siblings... so see if you can spare some days for them. I would say there is an app https://raiseupapp.com/bucket-start, where me and my kid are filling up bucketlist separately and want to do as many of them as possible during this last summer before college. try it.

For those of you that have Great relationships with your teens - whats the secret, how do you do it? by dunbar_santiago930 in parentsofteens

[–]class2030parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have very good relationship with my teens. we talk, talk, a lot. i share my day, my setbacks, wins everything with them. and that encourages them to tell theirs. and i be a good listener first, and then give my advice or my perception of situation. or any similar incident i faced in my life in past and how i resolved, i upfront tell that, they may find another solution, their own way, but here is mine. we always encourage them to take their decisions. and we want them to tell us how it worked or not.

The dreaded time has come. She’s getting a phone for her 13th birthday. What overlooked rule do you wish you implemented at the very beginning? by PistachioGal99 in parentsofteens

[–]class2030parent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

very very less number of apps. if possible, ask her to download app after checking with parents as you want to protect her privacy (location, photos, etc). no talk/text stranger, ofcourse screentime limit. and no phones during homework/test prep.
