[quote=Anonymous]Give him train tix plane tix or whatever to come home Columbus Day weekend or whatever the long first weekend is. Make plans to go for parents weekend and let him stay with you at the hotel. It was interesting to see that all DC and their friends did this the first year, they all holed up with parents at a nearby hotel for the weekend. It gave them a reprieve I think. What you are saying sounds normal. Ackowledge it. Help him make a plan to join clubs or intramural or whatever in the first month. Help him be proactive and anticipate times when he will feel lonely (inevitable). Make sure he stays connected with HS friends. The first thanksgiving when everyone is back is really fun reunion. Gap year doesn’t fix this. It delays it. Get him out the door. [/quote]
