Tips for helping students cope <strong>with</strong> transition/anxiety<br />

• Acknowledge your student’s anxiety and<br />

provide a listening ear<br />

Validate your student’s feelings. Do not dismiss<br />

their anxiety immediately.<br />

Whenever possible, listen <strong>to</strong> your student’s<br />

thoughts and feelings first <strong>with</strong>out any<br />

interruption. This allows your student <strong>to</strong> feel that<br />

you are concerned about him/her and what he/she<br />

is going through. This will encourage your student<br />

<strong>to</strong> reveal <strong>to</strong> you more about his/her fears.
