I have 3 kids, twin boys and a girl. When they were in high school and preparing for college, I actually made sure I will not be a helicopter parent. I live in San Diego and 2 of my kids stayed in CA (though out of San Diego), and 1 went to New York. They all wanted to be "far" from home and to make their own decisions about their personal lives and future, with me just supporting them in the background. They all graduated from their respective schools and now working professionals. Parents need to let their kids build their wings to fly even at a young age.
