Make sure you have a clear, respectful conversation with your child about your expectations." "Ask yourself: What’s the motivation for this? Is this from a place of me wanting my child to do or accomplish something based on a vision I have for their lives?" "If your child is living up to your expectations while they’re away, it’s okay to give them more freedom and independence." Learn more about your ad choices.
