Staying In Touch With Your College Student

June 30, 2008 By: Aurelia Category: Parenting My Teen Podcast

 Welcome to episode Show #34

In just a few short months thousands of students will go off to college. Some for the first time and thousands more as returning students. This can be a very stressful and difficult time for both the teens and the parents.

This week I am replaying an interview I did with my oldest daughter, Shayna, who is a student at Florida A&M. We talk about making the freshman transition from family life to dorm life and how parents and family can make moving away easier for the student.

Shayna also shares her thoughts about how parents can stay in touch with their student and why having a close relationship between parent and teen will make keeping in touch much easier.
