The Top Four Off-to-College
Survival Tips for Parents:
Give yourself a college education:
An informed parent can be the best coach during this transition.
Know the campus website, support services, and resources so that
you can direct your student to places where he/she can find help.
Apply the 24-hour “Helicopter Parent” rule:
Yes! Even the happiest
college students cry and get upset at times. Before you hover, relax and
count to 24 hours. When you
get email or cell phone calls, don’t be so quick to fix the problem
yourself. You can, however,
teach your student to fix her own problems.
Talk about it before it’s a problem:
Talk about sensitive and embarrassing things.
Be direct when talking about sex, drinking, drugs, calling home,
and everything else that matters.
Just because your kid is leaving doesn't mean that your kid stops
listening. Teach him or her
to be smart about being stupid.
Let him know you're always there for him.
Cell phone numbers you must have:
Few students use their room phones. You need to have options if you
can't get your student on the line.
For emergency purposes only, parents should get the cell phone
numbers of their students' roommates and friends.
