For South Carolina Public Radio, I'm Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.
Many college students are headed home for the summer and the transition can be challenging. After a year of living independently, students have to adjust to their parents’ rules and expectations.
Parents also have to adapt to sharing their space with someone who might not have the same priorities when it comes to cleanliness.
To ease the transition, experts recommend setting clear expectations in advance. Key topics to discuss include finances, schedules, transportation and chores.
Remember that living together is an opportunity to reconnect and with some planning, it can be a positive experience for everyone.
