[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Encourage them to finish out the year and then reevaluate. Tell them to view second semester as a fresh start. [/quote] This. Many many kids find college to be stressful, not fun. This is especially common 1st year. And parents should visit DC at school on a few weekends during the Spring. Facetime and telephone are not enough to evaluate how they really are feeling and doing. I think DC would benefit from a boost in emotional support. Send a care package with favorite snacks now and then too. If you are religious, then ask the appropriate campus pastor / priest / rabbi to reach out. Most campus pastors have experience dealing with students having adjustment issues. They also can be a sounding board who is neither a school employee nor parents. [/quote]
