A recent survey from the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital revealed that parents of teenagers are increasingly hesitant to let their teens have independent experiences while on vacation. Although 81% of parents had vacationed recently, one in five reported never allowing their teens to be away from them during trips. Many parents require phone check-ins and even track their teens' cell phones. The survey suggests this reluctance is rooted in concerns about safety rather than a lack of trust, as a majority express confidence that their teens would follow rules if given more independence.
It's clear that many parents today feel a strong inclination to keep their teens close during family vacations, reflecting broader societal concerns about safety.
While many parents express confidence in their teens' ability to follow rules, a significant number still feel anxiety regarding potential accidents, injuries, or encounters with strangers.
