Homesickness

Please have your child read this:

I advise you to not succumb to your child’s request to come home. They need to give it a chance. The vast majority of students experience some kind of struggle at first, and the vast majority make it through the other side.

I also suggest being not quite so available. And let your kid vent, rather than try to solve the problem. I’ve been there and it’s hard. They will almost certainly be fine, but giving in right now doesn’t help them. Good luck.
