[quote=Anonymous]Just wait until the summer orientations weekend when they separate the parents and students so that the students can pick their classes without their parents while the parents go to a lecture on how to support their student in the fall: Like, encourage them to pick three clubs/activities and commit to attend each at least three times - as this helps the student meet people and establish their own community away from home. They also encourage the student to stay on campus for the first six weeks and not come home and encourage the parents to also refrain from visiting in the first six weeks. Again, this fosters the student acclimating to their new environment as well as promote independence (which according to OP, this particular student needs more of). [/quote]
