on 11/22/2005 Dont forget that your child has gone off to college, and is most likely dealing with extended seperation between him/her self and you as the parent. The more contact you have with your child, the harder and harder it will become for your child to adjust to being away from home and at college. As a college freshman watching my friends go through this, I would recommend that after the first 2 weeks of college, limit the number of phone calls and emails from you to once a week. Care packages are wonderful, but even a handwritten card in the mail will make your child joyful for the day. Just not very often to help your child adjust to college life.

on 11/22/2005 When my Mom sends me packages, to make sure that it's a fun thing for me she puts all of my bills, bank statements, etc. in a manila envelope inside so I don't have to deal with my bill right away and I can just enjoy the fun stuff. :-D

on 11/22/2005 When I mail a package I let my son decorate, color and draw on the brown paper wrapper. We then dig through old pictures, cut out the people or places, and tape them securely with clear packaging tape. It's a collage of our family life we like to share.
