Parent Tips for Managing the Holiday Break

As a parent you are likely looking forward to having your student home for a relaxing and joyous holiday break.  It may have been several months since you've seen your student.  It's likely that you are anticipating how the time will be spent:  Nice family dinners, visiting with extended family, attending church services together, long talks about classes and college life, endless shopping and trimming the tree with your student. Our hope is that things go as planned, but as in life, you may hit a few bumps in the road along the way.

Dear Parents:

It is the time of year we are preparing to receive our students back from college to join us in many family traditions and holiday events.  Remembering that these young adults have now forged a new path into their future by becoming more independent learning new skills and adopting some new behaviors, I'd like to take a moment to share some thoughts with you.  The social life of the college student can look very different from the social life of a high school senior.  You might take time to talk to your student over this break about some of the new experiences they have encountered.
