[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster. New question. How did freshman first semester go for everyone’s kids? Do they like their college , roommate, dorm mates? Get involved socially at all? My kid says he likes his college, likes his roommate, classes, joined an intramural sport but I get the sense (I try not to pry) that he stays in his dorm room a lot. Of course I’m glad he didn’t go crazy with parties, etc but I hope the kid starts having some sort of college fun times soon. I don’t say too much and I know it was a transition, but am hoping he gets a bit more adventurous in future semesters. Joining a few more clubs, exploring the area, etc. He’s doing great so I really do keep my mouth shut ! Hope everyone’s kids are happy and adjusted well at their school. [/quote] +1 My questions to my freshman around his grades were - How do you feel about your first semester grades? Do you feel they reflect the work/effort you put in? The follow ups, had he not been pleased, would have been - What can you tweak in your study habits? Do you need supports/know where to access help? Etc. This is a deliberate switch flip for me, but I'm trying to be specific in my language and focus on how he is navigating his experience based on his life, his goals, etc. I'm certainly interested, want to know the grades and want to be available for coaching/advice as needed, but not parent him as I didn't when he was in high school.
