Staying in Touch
It is a good idea to discuss with your student
how you want to communicate with each other
and how often. Every day may be too much
for your student trying to establish a new
network at GW, but for some families, once a
week is too long to go without communicating.
Talk to your student about how often you will
communicate by video calls, phone calls, text
messaging, emails, letters, or social media.
These are all great ways to stay in touch
without taking up too much of your student’s
time. It is important that both you and your
student agree to the plan, and it can be helpful
to revisit it as things change from semester to
semester.
