College graduation marks the end of many long
years of getting your child through school and homework and testing
and adolescence. What it doesn't end is your need to parent and
worry and figure out what's next. Terri chatted with Kathy Ceceri,
who writes about homeschooling on the All About
Homeschooling Facebook page and her site Crafts for Learning, about
independence and whether it's the top priority for every single
young adult; the need for a support system even when you're off
working a fabulous job; the value of living at home and saving
money; and the fact that current young adults can't
necessarily count on getting the kind of job that will allow them
to have their own individual out-of-the-nest lives in the first
place. Read the Washington
Post
article that Kathy found to make Terri feel better about her
advance-stage helicopter parenting, and if you're seeing this
