[quote=Anonymous]Our new AP has been here for less than a week and misses home terribly. Not uncommon, I'm sure and she knows this. But as it's happening to her it's not much comfort to say that it's normal and things will get better as she gets used to the area and routines. She seems to want to just return home. Our prior APs have never been this homesick -- maybe because they had lived away from home before, unlike this one. The AP says there is no issue with us; it's just that she misses her family. Other than encouraging her to meet other APs, stay busy, and develop a social network as soon as possible, is there anything that we as the HF can do to help? Also, any HFs out there that have had really homesick APs turn things around and enjoy their year; if so, what was the key? TIA.[/quote]
