For someone who’s lived at home all their life in the comfort of family and always had everything they needed and wanted, the transition of going off to college is worrying.

No wonder so many kids start missing home, badly, in their first year as freshmen. It’s difficult not to have all the homey comforts you’ve been used to, it’s a whole new life. You have to become a grownup, often before you’re ready.

If you want your freshman to get through it all and stop feeling so homesick all the time – there are things you can do. There are ways of supporting your child! Conversation is key.

Make it seem like they’re still at home, to a certain extent. Ask about their day and what’s going on. Make them feel they’re still part of the family because they are—even if they don’t quite feel like it at the time.

Send your freshman little care package. Shower them with food, items from home, clothes, and other necessities they might need to help them out.

But, do it up to a limit. They still need to learn how to do their own grocery shopping and don’t let your kids rely on your generosity to get through the week.

Talk to your freshman about building their own community. Encourage them to make more friends and get involved in more activities that won’t make them feel so lonely, especially during their first days and weeks away from home.

Remind them this is an opportunity to start building a life that reflects their personal goals, personality, and needs. There is no limit to what they can do—but remember to stay safe!

Understand that the transition will take time. Teenagers and young adults lack life experience, and they won’t get things right first time, every time.

Eventually, they’ll start feeling comfortable in their new life, especially knowing they have your love and support from afar.

Sometimes, it’s more than just a little feeling of missing home. If your teen is constantly in the room, not involved in anything, missing classes, or skipping meals—there may be a bigger problem. Check for these signs, because the problem might be bigger than you think.

Feeling homesick is part of the natural journey of leaving home. Everyone feels it, one way or another. But it’s important to support your children and be with them until they learn to love their new life. Find the balance between keeping them close and letting them free. Keep an eye on big issues, and offer advice at a healthy level. And maybe reminisce about when you left home, too!

There are several high-tech, pricey techniques to look a little younger and more vibrant, including hair transplants that look very real, retinol, botox, and all hair retention procedures. However, not all solutions need to be expensive. A daily SPF application, sufficient hydration, or even a good night’s sleep can all be extremely beneficial if you’re stressed. Reduce the overall level of stress in your life, which is at the top of the list of things you can do to maintain your youth and enhance your beauty.

A Stressed Person Looks Different

Of course, there are instances when things are easier said than done. Although you can’t instantly stop bad things from happening or boost your workplace morale, these aren’t the only stressors that have an impact on your skin, hair, and biological functions. Dr. Michele Green, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, claims that there are various forms of daily stress.

She lists the main causes as handling traffic (such as getting stopped in it), daily logistics (such as going to events and doing the food shopping), environmental pollutants (such as smoke and car emissions), and lack of sleep. There are small things you can do if you’re stressed, and those tiny things add up to huge changes in your life.

Stress Accelerates Wrinkles

The stress hormone cortisol can cause the collagen and elastin in your skin to break down. Stress causes more permanent wrinkles and fine lines because these are what maintain skin elasticity and firmness.

Stress Encourages Hyperpigmentation

You might realize one day that hyperpigmentation has affected you. Stress, aging, and sun exposure all cause it to grow dramatically. Stress can cause melanocytes in hair follicles to go gray and lose their pigment. In terms of skin, the opposite outcome is also possible: You could have persistent patches of skin that are rough or discolored.

Acne

Your body produces more oil as a result of the cortisol surge a stressed person experiences, considerably increasing the likelihood of developing blocked pores.

Hair Fall

As many of us learn when stressed, the disease can cause the body to experience “shock loss,” or an excess of hair follicles that enter their resting phase too soon, a condition that’s known as telogen effluvium. As a result, they shed more frequently, which can be concerning if you’re standing over the sink and see four or five strands at once.
