GRAND OPENING
to evaluate the messages they're
sending. In a roundabout way,
are they encouraging their
grown-up child to stay at home
to diffuse problems with their
marriage? Do they, themselves,
suffer from separation anxiety,
perhaps even more than their
child?
Jennifer Wasserman, 24, grad-
uated from Eastern Michigan
University with a degree in social
work. After school, she moved to
Maryland where she landed a job
that didn't work out. So after six
months, she returned to Michi-
gan and moved back in with her
mom and stepdad.
Ms. Wasserman admits it was
a nerve-wracking plan. But, the
specter of curfews and confine-
ment didn't haunt her as she had
thought it would. Now working
as program director for Hillel of
Metro Detroit and living on her
own in Birmingham, Ms. Wasser-
man says she'd consider another
return.
"My parents were wonderful,"
she says. "Any small problems we
discussed, and things worked
themselves out. I've always got-
ten along with my parents and if
I go to graduate school, I might
move back in again."

Preplanning
For School
Children with day-care or
preschool experience still feel
nervous or excited about start-
ing kindergarten or first grade.
A little preplanning can help
children — and their parents —
make the transition:
Visit the school before the first
day of classes.
Start preparing for the start
of school a few weeks before the
big day. Use a calendar to count
down the days; read children's
books that feature a school
theme.
One or both parents should
arrange to go to work a little lat-
er to make sure the first day of
school is relaxed.

Keeping
Kids Safe
Walking themselves to school
is a major rite of passage for
most kids. But it can leave
parents more than a little ner-
vous. Follow these suggestions
from Egleston Children's Hos-
pital at Emory University in At-
lanta:
• Help your child select the
safest route to school.
• Children under 8 should
walk with an older child or adult.
• Teach the child to obey traf-
fic signs and signals.
• Teach him to look left, right,
then left again before crossing
the street.

Adding salt to your food
could subtract years from
your life. Because in some
people salt contributes to
high blood pressure, a con-

risk of heart disease.
