Hi all,
Daughter has been very anxious and emotional lately because the pre-season training for college is around the corner. This California girl will first experience living in one of the coldest states, MN. She is scared to leave her 10-yr old dog, her grandparents, her one-year boyfriend. She is nervous about playing her sport in a college level all of a sudden. She worries she will not like the school even though she has visited overnight and loved it more than a year ago.
To make the transition easier, my husband and I will accompany her to MN and stay there for a month. We will watch her games and give her support in any ways when we are there. We will go back again in Oct for the family weekend. Then she will fly back to CA for six weeks due to the trimester system.
To me, her situation is very favorable for most people who have to go out of state for college. But her history of having anxiety disorder since young speaks otherwise. Does anyone have similar situation or know someone who has? Is there anything I need to pay attention to? Is there something that I should say or should not say? What should I anticipate to see when she is actually there all alone for her new chapter?
Please share what you know and any advice is much appreciated!
