• Encouraging participation in Orientation Week and getting involved in the various opportunities available on campus – it a great way for your student to meet new people.
• Encouraging your student to come up with his or her own solutions.
• Encouraging your student to look at the positives and to learn from his or her mistakes.
• Listening to your student and only offering advice when asked.
• Re-assuring your student that you believe in and trust him or her.
