Parents can help what to look for on your college visits and search of college. A child can ask about his parents experience as a college student. Or what they think they should have done while taking admission. A child can ask, what was their deciding factor? What did they enjoy most about college? What they think that you should look in college and what should they avoid.
In developing social life
Sharda University brings forth the role of parents in helping students to develop good social life. They can guide how to throw a party. They can tell how to get good rapport with peers and how to plan excursion trip with their trends and batch mates. They can encourage in sports activity by attending the games and also keeping friendly terms with the peers of their kid.
Keeping an eye
Sharda University encourages parents to get in close touch with their children as they can keep check on promiscuity drug use and mental problems. Its parent’s job to see that the child does not go into anxiety as parent should promote bravery and confidence for long term goal.
Parents can help in learning problems, anxiety, fears. Parents are the best resource when their child is under stress. Parents should be in constant touch with deans, HOD s of the college to keep track of the performance of the child.
