Uni students 'should phone home more'
News brought to you by Skint Tariffs. Providers of price comparison for cheap international calls.Students who have just headed off to university have been urged to call their parents on a regular basis.
It is far easier with mobile phones to make calls home and parents often appreciate more than their children realise, an expert has suggested.
Martina Klett-Davis, a research fellow at the Family and Parenting Institute, told the BBC that modern technology leaves no excuse for not phoning.
"If we compare it to even five years ago, kids didn't necessarily have a mobile phone. Because of the internet…there's a lot more contact between people than there's ever been before. Not so long ago you only had letters," she said.
"You need to be available on your phone a great deal. Whether you consider that to be surveillance or mum showing her love depends on the individual student."
Many students come from other countries and could make low cost international calls back home.
However, in an interview with Vanity Fair, Tony Blair's wife Cherie admitted her sons "don't call their dad".
