Do you feel your stomach tighten up as soon as you read the text message from your son/daughter...."Mom, I'm homesick!" If so, you are not alone.
Mom I Want to Come Home is a helpful article published in 2011 in the Huffington Post and written by Brian Harke, Ed.D, Dean of Students at University of Southern California.
The article explains common times during a semester when students sound the alert and call home with feelings of homesickness. The author also offers 6 suggestions for how parents can respond to these panicked phone calls/emails including my personal favorite, Don't Try to Fix It (at least for 24 hours).
