10 ways to support your student
Compiled by a Student
- Send mail and care packages (they make us feel special)
- Learn to love email, instant messenger and video chats
- Tell us you are proud of us
- Keep us updated on what is going on at home and try to keep us involved in family life
- Write us (even if we don't write back)
- Ask what we have learned, not just the grade we got
- Visit (not too often – and call first)
- Call us (set up a weekly time)
- Encourage us to explore new subjects and interests
- Sometimes just listen. We may just need to get our thoughts straight and it helps to have someone who listens
