• CollegePlus! – Distance Learning Blog – College Bound: The Changing Role of Parents – Annotated tags: parenting college
  • Certainly, there are over-involved parents living vicariously through their kids
    experiences, but many more parents just wash their hands of involvement with
    their children when they go off to college. My judgment: far too many parents
    assume that their parenting role ends when college for their child begins. I do
    not agree that parents are superfluous. Nor do I think kids should be abandoned
    to flounder in a totally new environment where they are deluged with new
    worldviews and ideologies. Some students are suddenly cut loose from their
    anchors in an environment of total freedom without adequate preparation; they
    move out of a home where there are clear rules and expectations (which stabilize
    both their conduct and emotions) into a place where there are few rules or
    expectations for their behavior or conduct.

  • 1. Your child is beginning one of the most significant and challenging stages of
       his or her life. Perhaps for the first time, that child is on his or her own and
       it is a proverbial make-or-break situation. (Hopefully, you have spent the
       previous 18 years preparing them for this day – emotionally, psychologically,
       intellectually, and spiritually.) They need to know that you will continue to be
       there as a parent to provide support and/or guidance as they request
       it.
    2. Over the four years of college or university life, students will make many of
       the most important decisions of their lives. Wise parents will anticipate the
       challenges and temptations and prepare their children with the character and
       arguments that they need to avoid risky and destructive behavior; loving
       communication and wise counsel can help your child resist temptation and make
       good decisions.
    3. Over the next four years, your child will sit under the influence of a few
       professors who enjoy tearing down the moral and religious views of their
       students. For such profs, teaching is a game, and the intellectual seduction of
       their students is the conquest that makes their teaching challenging. Their
       agenda is to separate students from their parents, thereby, they hope, removing
       the influence of traditional, Judeo-Christian values. Wise parents will listen
       carefully and be ready to help counter such pernicious nonsense.

    meantime, the whole life of the Church benefits from the mysterious and powerful
    help of angels.201
    335
    In her liturgy, the Church joins with the angels to adore the thrice-holy God.
    She invokes their assistance (in the funeral liturgy’s In Paradisum deducant
    te angeli. . .[“May the angels lead you into
    Paradise. . .”]). Moreover, in the “Cherubic Hymn” of the Byzantine
    Liturgy, she celebrates the memory of certain angels more particularly (St.
    Michael, St. Gabriel, St. Raphael, and the guardian angels).
    336
    From its beginning until death, human life is surrounded by their watchful care
    and intercession.202 “Beside each believer stands an angel as
    protector and shepherd leading him to life.”203 Already here on earth
    the Christian life shares by faith in the blessed company of angels and men
    united in God.
