Seasonal
Student Issues
|
|
There's a seasonal ebb and flow when it comes to student
issues. Here are a few thoughts on what may happen during
Winter Break
- Students
Receive Grades. They may rejoice in the payoff from
hard work, be disappointed that they didn't do better
or have worries about being placed on probation.
- Relationship
Difficulties. Perhaps your student is separated from
his significant other. Maybe there are struggles being
reunited with a high school love. Or maybe a breakup
or lack of a relationship is getting her down.
- Readjusting
to Life at Home. Being around siblings all the time
again, living under your roof after a semester of
"freedom," integrating into the rhythm of
family life… there will be readjustments.
- Friendships
Falter. Old friends may find that they've grown apart.
New friends may feel neglected during break. Juggling
friends is likely on your student's mind.
- Financial
Strain. Buying holiday gifts, traveling home for the
holidays, wondering how to pay for next semester…
finances may be causing your student some stress.
