[quote=Anonymous]I have an extremely bright kid With a very bright future. He is serious, studious, and has great social skills. I couldn’t ask for more. He’s also off to a great school next month. This school was his first choice. However it’s become apparent that he’s not emotionally ready to leave home. He’s absolutely sick about leaving and it is like a looming doom is hovering over him. all of his friends seem so excited, as they should be, and for him he feels like he’s headed off to a horrible place. I’ve heard of kids being horribly homesick and I can already see it happening. I almost feel like he should try to defer enrollment for a year, but I feel like that’s really enabling this anxiety that is a bit irrational. Has anyone else had a kid that was terrified to go off to school but they ended up settling in? And how did you manage them calling you upset and wanting to come home? He already told me he thinks he made a big mistake and should’ve taken a gap year.[/quote]
