Attention All Parents of College Bound and College Babies…

Sharing an important post from another group.

🚨 PSA FOR PARENTS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS 🚨

I know nobody wants to think about something happening to their child. But here’s something many parents don’t realize:

Once your child turns 18, you may NOT automatically have the legal authority to make medical, financial, or other important decisions for them.

They are legally an adult — even if they’re still on your health insurance, living in your house, or you’re paying their tuition.

If your child is unconscious, seriously injured, hospitalized, or otherwise unable to communicate, you could potentially find yourself in a situation where you’re their parent… but you don’t have the legal authority to make certain decisions on their behalf.

Before your college student heads off to school, consider getting the appropriate documents in place, such as:

📌 Medical/Healthcare Power of Attorney
📌 HIPAA Authorization so designated people can receive certain medical information
📌 Durable Financial Power of Attorney
📌 Advance Directive/Living Will
📌 Designation of a person to make certain medical decisions, where applicable
📌 Will and beneficiary information
📌 Emergency contact information and important account/document information

And please don’t just download a random form from the internet and assume you’re covered. Requirements can vary by state, and some documents need to be properly executed to be effective.

This isn’t about being controlling.

It’s about making sure that if the unthinkable happens, your child has already told the law who they want making decisions for them.

❤️ Have the conversation.
📄 Get the documents.
✍🏽 Have them properly executed.
🗂️ Make sure the right people know where they’re kept.

18 may mean adulthood, but it doesn’t mean your child suddenly stops being your child. It just means the law may require you to have their permission in writing.

Share this with a parent who needs to see it. 👇🏽

Insightful!

The anti-social century has arrived on campus, Rose Horowitch writes. https://theatln.tc/lLAk52Ve

The percentage of students who party for more than six hours a week, as well as the percentage of those who spend more than six hours a week socializing face-to-face with friends, has fallen since 1994, according to UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute. Meanwhile, the share of first-year students who reported feeling frequently isolated from campus life has more than doubled in the past two decades. A rising senior at MIT told Horowitch that, despite being involved in Greek life and athletics, he eats alone most days.

“I feel like I’m somebody who seeks social interactions,” he said, yet “I would say I am alone at least four or five days a week.”

Some researchers blame smartphones and social media. “Hours spent on social media crowded out time that people might previously have devoted to social interactions,” Horowitch writes. In addition, the coronavirus pandemic seems to have had a lasting effect on in-person interaction on campus, while clubs and extracurricular activities are now seen more as a good résumé addition than a socializing opportunity.

Some administrators have sought creative solutions, including offering a course that teaches students how to make friends, or creating new pathways across campus to increase the odds for individuals to physically encounter one another, Horowitch writes. “The more I can get students to run into each other, the better,” Brian Casey, the president of Colgate University, told Horowitch.
