Are You Too Involved In Your College Student's Life?

Can a parent be too involved in their college student's life? Mobile phone, instant messaging, email, FedEx...with all the technology that parents and students have available today, it is easier than ever for parents to be in touch with their college student, but sometimes that may not be the best for your student. Parents are talking to their kids two, three, four, five times a day. What most parents that do this don't realize is that a big part of college is the student learning to deal with life issues on their own. Stay Involved But... I am the first one to say to parents that you need to remain involved. But, there reaches a point that the young adult needs to start taking responsibility and advocating for themselves, making their own decisions. This is all part of growing up. And, if you have been a good parent, now is the time to step back and let the young adult step forward and practice what you have been teaching them all along. Exercising Their Problem Solving Muscle... College students are going to run into problems whether it is in their dorm...they might not like the roommate they have, or they might not like the dorm supervisor or their advisor. If the first thing they to do is call mom or dad ... wanting mom or dad to call the school and take care of this... you may want to think twice. As a parent, I strongly urge you to listen. Be there as a listener to the dilemma that the young adult is having, but then, ask them what they plan on doing about this. Discuss what their options are and encourage them to take care of the problem. Don't deny them this experience. Let them feel good about handling the issue. Only get involved if it is dangerous or something that truly involves a parent. Avoiding Helicopter Parenting... Some other suggestions for being a resource not a pest... 1. Establish a time during the week where you might talk to your student so you avoid those "blah, blah, blah" phone calls. You agree to talk once a week, you can get caught up for 15, 20, 30 minutes, what have you, but you are not there constantly hovering over the child. Let them know that if they need to talk, you are available. But if it is not an emergency, you can talk at your pre-appointed time. 2. Encourage your student to seek the resources that are available to them. Send your student to their advisors for the academic advice that they need. 3. Encourage your student to become involved. There are ongoing student activities. You pay a student activity fee. Or, they can volunteer for charitable groups. Healthy activities help to combat some of the loneliness so many feel when they first go to college. http://www.collegeworks101.com

Aviation Business Blog Platform is Needed in the General Aviation Industry

Each month we see more and more business blogs popping up online where the social networking platform is being used to assist those in a particular industry or sector work more efficiently together. Well, being in the aviation sector and specifically the General Aviation Sector, it is my contention that there is a huge need. A wise entrepreneur could make good money putting such a platform together and licensing it to someone. The Aviation Sector - General Aviation Specifically could very much use your platform. For instance, you call it: "WakeTurbulence" and it would be used by the following types of businesses and folks in General Aviation:





FBOs Fixed Based Operators







Fractional Jet Markets







Jet Centers







Flight Schools







Avionics Businesses







Pilots







Flight Instructors







Airport Services







Aviation Insurance

Indeed, there are also potential uses to protect our nation, as our airports must be safe. Additionally, the platform would immediately pay for itself in "click ads" because "Fractional Jets" and "Jet Charters" are high value AdSense or Click Ad categories. So, it is my contention that if you are building your business plan for industry business blog platforms that you may wish to include this category. The General Aviation Sector has struggled in the past and yet really should not have to. Making it more efficient, strengthens the industry and helps collaboration. When the industry is busy talking to itself, it will indeed, do every thing that it is already doing, just that much better. In fact, isn't that really why social network business blogging platforms actually exist? Something to contemplate in 2008. "Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank forum board.
