🚨 Is your college student’s homesickness making your brain spiral with, “Did we pick the wrong school?” or “Did I fail as a parent?”
In this video, I’m breaking down 5 lies your brain tells you when your college student is homesick AND calm, neuroscience-informed reframes so you can respond with clarity instead of anxiety.

💡The truth behind: “They chose the wrong school”
💡Why homesickness does not mean they “weren’t ready for college”
