When should a parent get involved

<p>I agree with mwallenmd. </p>

<p>More than any time in the past, these young adults we are seending off are not fully developed individuals. Whether because we helicopter parented too much or they grew up in a tech laden world not allowing them to develop patience or adequate interpersonal skills, they still need some guidance from us, when it comes to issues that matter. We have to let them fall so they will learn how to get up but when there are potential lifelong ramifications they are too immature to grasp, it is appropriate for us to be a part, especially as we are the consumers.</p>

<p>Schools dont want to hear from us, but in this case, there is a problem that needs to be addressed and I dont ascribe to waiting to view the damage before acting. Go with your gut. You know what is best.</p>
