Getting into their grove...
Sometimes we may find our students get so busy, they dont have the time for a call or text home. It is important to remember, they are growing up, and learning how to juggle their schedule. This is a good thing, though we may feel a bit neglected..
Try to remember that this is the time to go the extra distance on your part, by calling, sending a text, dropping a note in the mail. Just because they get busy, it's still so very important for them to know that family and friends are there and support them. They still miss you and REALLY do want to hear your voice or get that unexpected mail to lift their spirits when feeling down.
And dont forget, October is typically midterms - which can stress students out a bit - so give them a little extra encouragement!
