How often does your child call home?

I send a daily email. In response, the freshman sends an email about four or five days a week, down from daily when he first arrived at college. The college senior used to send an email about once a week (but could go several weeks). However, he currently is in close contact (an email every day or even several a day) since he has lots of interesting stuff going on right now.

Phone calls are rare for either, usually reserved for high profile news. I have never looked at facebook (not sure if/how much the kids use it). We don’t text with them, although a kind cc poster did recently show me how to text through my computer if I need to.
