You missed them while they were away at school. You want to hang out with them. You want to be an attentive, interested parent. You want to make sure they’re alright–that there isn’t something they need to tell you.

Let them decompress. Give them something to eat. Put on some music. Just be there. If you want to talk, maybe share with them something from your day or your life.

Let them come to you.
