Remember when you were 5 and you asked me which swim stroke was the hardest and I told you butterfly. Your response to me was I thought so, that is the one I am going to be the best at. I found that he looked forward to each email and it was a great lighthearted way to start his day.
Parents of College studens struggle with how to support their son or daughter during finals week. Most kids are far from home which adds some complexity to the issue. I remember when my son was going through some tough times and I did some remember when with him. Each day I would send him an email telling him about some time in his life. Other suggestions might be to send a finals week care package filled with great goodies for them to enjoy during finals week. A great finals week gift basket might contain some caffeinated items like coffee and chocolates, some sweets, snack foods, teas and energy food like power bars. Food is a great comfort to all of us and something that we all need of course. With our busy life styles why not use a company like Baskets by Rita to do the work for you. Baskets by Rita offers a great selection of care packages, finals week care package, Survival Gift Basket and stress relief spa gifts as well. They cover all the bases to help you remember you college student far away.
With a daughter in college I know how hard it can be to show support and to cope with missing them too. I find that it is nice to not worry about the day to day but I also know how much I miss seeing her. Take time for yourself now and remember that your work is done you have put forth huge amounts of effort raising them and the fact that they are in college means you succeeded.
