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.
