Sending your child away to university is never easy but a matter of great pride for most parents. You can help your child lead a better life by providing small things that make a considerable difference in making their lives away from home easier.
Here are a list of 5 things you should give to your teenager.
Multi-purpose laundry bag
It is possible that you teenager has no prior experience of washing and folding their own clothes. It will take them a while to get adjusted to doing things on their own. It is therefore advisable that you buy them a multi-purpose laundry bag that will help them not only keep their dirty clothes in one place but also store the liquid detergent and conditioner in it. If possible buy one with a small compartment that can hold some money and even the laundry card.
Accessory organizer
It is possible that your teenager has never shared a living space with other people. As a parent you can be pro-active and buy them an accessory organizer, preferably one that they can hang on the inside of their closet door or on its side. This can comfortably hold their scarves, stoles and bags. This will provide ample storage space for things such as sheets and clothes.
Closet jewelry organizer
Your teenager may have an extensive collection of junk jewelry which she loves leaving behind wherever she fancies for you to pick up and keep safely. However, once she is away at university, you will not be able to do so for her. Gift her a closet jewelry organizer. She will be able to easily store her trinkets in a systematic way, thereby reducing chances of losing them.
A reliable pan
It is highly unlikely that your teenager will spend long hours in the kitchen preparing themselves a proper meal. But make sure you make them able enough to cook a basic omelet and pasta dish. A pan that can be used in the oven and the HOB is a must. They can easily make themselves something and not eat take-out or ready-to-eat meals every day.
Magnetic organizer
Though most university rooms come with soft boards that students can use to pin their notes and other knick knacks on, it does have to be shared by other people. Buy your child a magnetic organizer. They can put up a poster on it, or just post-its, or even a few of their personal belongings that will make their room feel a little bit like home. Generally these organizers can be placed almost anywhere and are of great help.
