How Parents Can Support Their Child When Studying Away From Home

Studying away from home is a big step for both students and parents. Preparation and communication make the transition smoother.

Encourage Independence Before Leaving

Students who practice independence early adjust better. This includes:

• Managing schedules

• Handling responsibilities

• Making decisions

  
  

Stay Supportive Without Over-Managing

Healthy support means:

• Being available

• Avoiding constant monitoring

• Trusting your child

  
  

Discuss Expectations Early

Clear conversations about:

• Communication

• Responsibilities

• Boundaries

reduce misunderstandings later.
