Parents tune in to realities

Wren Singer, director of freshman orientation at the University of Wisconsin, calls them the ââ?¬Å?wink-wink, nudge-nudge parents,ââ?¬Â the ones who typically make themselves known during parent sessions at orientation. When the topic turns to how parents might talk with their child about drinking, ââ?¬Å?One parent in the back will say, ââ?¬Ë?Oh, but kids will be kids,’ and everyone will laugh. You see it in their faces ââ?¬â? relief: ââ?¬Ë?Oh, yeah, kids will be kids.’ ââ?¬Â
