What Every Parent Should Know Before Sending Their Child to Hostel

  • To prepare a child to live in the hostel, parents themselves should be convinced that their decision is right. If they are feeling guilty about sending their child away, all their arguments to persuade their offspring will be hollow.
  • The child should be consulted before a decision is made to send him to the hostel. Giving the child sufficient time to understand why he is going there and how that’s going to change his life(for the better).
  • The child should be made to realize that the move is for his/her benefit and not the parent’s. The move to send the child to hostel must not be interpreted by him as a punishment, otherwise he will begin to hate and dread the hostel even before he joins it.
  • Give examples to the child about positive learning experience, all that a child can gain from the hostel. Make him aware of all the wonderful new things he will be able to learn there. 
  • Any family friend or a relative to whom the child is close to can also be roped in to talk to the child and dispel his fears.
  • He must be made to realize that the lonely moments shall pass and that he will come back to his parents, who love him dearly.
  • If the child is facing any problem, he should never hesitate to bring it to the notice of the school authorities.
  • Its very important that your child develops the confidence and courage to take this transition head-on. Motivate him with the assurance that the family is there to support him at all times.
