对学生和家庭来说，上大学可能是一个艰难的过渡. 以下是一些让你的新生活充满激情的建议:
- 创造新的记忆——无论是一次大旅行还是一次有很多自拍的短途旅行.
- 为他们做好基本的准备——洗衣服、如何使用医疗保险、急诊室等. urgent care, sewing, etc.
- 安排一个“自我日”——你知道他们的大学开学日期，所以提前计划一个“自我日”来帮助你从艰难的告别中解脱出来.
- Be Prepared for the “I Can’t Do This” Call – that “I can’t do this” call is likely to come at one point or another; remind them why they came to college. Your advice is gold.
- 每周安排一次电子约会——因为你们都在适应分开的生活, 同意每周花几分钟打一次虚拟电话
- 记住:没有消息就是好消息——提醒你自己，如果你的学生不经常给家里打电话, that might just mean that they are busy, not that they have forgotten about you.
