does my 16-year-old need a consent letter to fly to china?

My son just turned 16, and he’s about to fly solo to China to visit his grandparents. We spent hours comparing flights and finally booked him a round-trip ticket with China Southern Airlines. Now, I keep hearing mixed things about what paperwork he actually needs. Some folks say we have to write a consent letter from both parents, but the airline says their unaccompanied minor service isn’t even required for kids his age. I’m honestly getting a bit anxious—what if he gets stuck at customs because we missed something? I’ve read stories online about teens being held up for not having the right documents, and it’s making me second-guess everything. Does the U.S. or China really check for a parental consent letter when a 16-year-old travels alone? And what about when he comes back—will U.S. customs ask for anything special? I just want to make sure he doesn’t run into any trouble, but I’m starting to feel like the rules are different everywhere. Anyone else gone through this with their teenager? #familytravel #teenagers #internationalflights #Travel

Why Is My Daughter Suddenly a Preppy Queen?

You ever wake up one summer and realize your kid has become a whole new person? That’s me right now. My 16-year-old daughter, who used to rock the skater-girl vibe—ripped jeans, messy hair, pretending not to care (but definitely caring)—has done a total 180. Out of nowhere, she swapped her contacts for glasses (which she used to hate), chopped her hair short, and started wearing her smartwatch like it’s glued to her wrist. And the clothes? Gone are the oversized tees; now it’s all polos and khakis. My husband and I are side-eyeing each other, wondering if there’s a new crush in the picture. Should I ask her what’s up, or just let her reinvent herself? Sometimes I wish I could just read her mind instead of her wardrobe. 😅 #parenting #teenagers #identity #family #change #RomanticRelationships
