A Parent’s Perspective and a Local Presence
I have raised three children, now ages 22, 20, and 18, and I understand the emotional and practical challenges of having children grow into young adults.
I also understand what it feels like to be far away when your child is navigating a new environment. Even when students are capable and independent, there are moments when they need an extra set of hands, a trusted adult, or someone familiar who can help them figure out what to do next.
My role is not to replace a parent or to interfere with a student’s independence. It is to provide thoughtful, appropriate support when distance makes it difficult for you to be there personally.
