CINCINNATI,
OH - As young women across the nation head to college
this month, research shows that parents play a more important role than ever in
preparing their daughters for college life and beyond.
Cincinnati-based
relationship expert Shari Goldsmith says stress levels on college campus life
are at an all-time high, and emotional health is declining. In fact, 85% of
students in a recent study reported stress on a daily basis and an
unprecedented 27% of students experience some type of mental health issue
during their college years. However, with the right preparation, parents can
play a pivotal role in avoiding these issues.
"Often
we focus on getting our daughter’s ready physically, but they also need to be
ready to handle the experience mentally and emotionally," explains
Goldsmith. "There are ways you can make sure your daughter is more
prepared emotionally to handle the big changes in her life."
Goldsmith
offers the following five tips to parents of college-bound daughters:
1.
Make sure she is educated about healthy eating habits and the need to
stay physically active at school. With a change in her routine, it is common
for young women to gain weight and exercise less. Exercise is also a good
stress reliever and can help her adjust to her new surroundings.
2.
Many young women feel anxiety about leaving for a number of reasons; fear
of leaving family and being on their own, leaving good friends and the fear of
making new ones, being in a new city and handling the rigorous college classes.
Help her talk these fears through and find practical solutions.
3.
Decide how often you should communicate with each other. With today’s
technology, it’s possible for the two of you to have constant access but is
this healthy? Does this let her grow and make decisions on her own? Does this
give her to ability to work out issues on her own? Do what’s best for HER.
4.
Discuss with her the resources available on campus if she feels stressed,
anxious or depressed and is having difficulty coping. Every campus has mental
health resources made available for their students and tutoring if she is
struggling with academics.
5.
It’s important to have a frank talk about drinking, drug use, and the
prevalence of date rape on campus. In the majority of date rape cases, women
knew their assailants and trusted them. Most of these situations involve
alcohol or drug use. It’s best to educate her about using the buddy system-stick
with a friend that won’t leave your side for the night. Also, don’t drink from
a glass that has been out of your sight.
Goldsmith
recently authored a book, "31 days to Finding Your Inner Sass – Shortcuts
to Girlfriend Happiness" to help women develop better relationships - with
themselves and others. The book is a collection of a daily journeys to find
happiness and success in the reader's personal and professional life.
