Daniel Comes Home for College

Saturday my 20 year old son comes home from college. I am so excited, nervous, and worried. We had a long talk about readjusting to Home life and being "parented" again. It brings to mind that we need to prepare to have him home again.
1-- talk about family rules and respect issues. Is it OK to stay out all night? Why or why not?
2--helping in the house-this is a big adjustment where in college you just take care of you
3--talk, talk, and talk.... it maybe 2 minutes at a time but talk through all the range of emotions.
4- acknowledge how Daniel is feeling.. it is hard for me but super hard for him.

so, hopefully after some conversations, and maybe in conflicts, we will get back in to a routine and develop an even stronger bond. I am certainly looking forward to trying!!!!
