[quote=Anonymous]The biggest thing I recommend to parents in this situation is not to let them see YOU sweat. Listen attentively but remind her its normal, don't freak out, don't let her hear dress in your voice etc etc. Recommend positive steps (like joining clubs, going to the comedy show at the student union, even just walking around campus to where her classes are etc etc) but assure her this is a normal feeling and its not indicative of her college experience as a whole. Its a very common first step/overwhelming feeling. Signed, Mom of 3 and 2 had terrible terrible first weeks/orientations/even first semester but all 3 ended up loving their (very different) schools.
