Is your girl taking her first step towards college life? Here’s how you can help!

August 26, 2008

No matter how level-headed your girl child is, the first few days of college could spend in daze. But just make sure you are always there to support your girl whenever she needs you. Here are some ways where you can always lend a helping hand in a perfect way.

What to do if she is living away from home

If your girl seeks opportunities outside your home town, don’t panic much. Hostel life teaches its own lessons and ways of managing almost everything-from budget to laundry etc. so, let her fight her own battle. But make sure you take a look at the room, read out the code of conduct expected from you and your child, talk to warden and department head.

How to manage money matters

Suddenly the amount of money that you used to give your child becomes meager over nightly to the college- goer. She has now shed her school uniform and wants to buy new clothes for her so that she can blend with rest of her peers. Make sure that you do not give in to her every blind demand but also not even run down her every request she makes at the same time. Remember not to spend on non-essential and wasteful items.

Education and career

If your daughter has scored in 80’s, and is interested in aviation field, don’t dismiss her right away. Also, make sure you do not dismiss you child’s preferences on the basis of genders. May be that your girl child excels in aeronautical physics, so let her try that out. Mind it, forcing your child to bark up on the wrong tree will only saddle her with a job that she hates and may not excel in. if there is a toss-up between favorite subject and a reputed college, give the preference to the subject.
