Dancing on the Pedals
Congratulations to your student and your
entire family for navigating this year! While
finals are wrapping up, students are thinking of
packing up their rooms, returning home, and
leaving friends and relationships. Others may
stay in Washington, D.C., at GW for internships
or other summer jobs. Some hope they can
maintain their independence while at home
for the summer, while others hope to maintain
their new friendships and relationships. May is
also a time for celebration and next steps for
those graduating and heading to that first job,
graduate school, or another exciting adventure!
Enjoy celebrating with your GW Revolutionaries!
Congratulations, and Raise High!
Summer at home with a returned college
student can mean major adjustments for you,
your student, and the rest of your family. You
may notice changes in your student, including
appearance and behaviors. Now is an excellent
time to discuss expectations regarding
curfew, social activities, responsibilities, family
trips, working, etc. Clarity, consistency, and
compromise can go a long way in finding
common ground. Remember, adjustments take
time, and before you know it, your student will
return to GW for another year.
