Discussion Topics for Rebounds and Parents(For a convenient time after you get back)
Returning exchange students often have many issues that need to be addressed after their return to their home country. We hope that these topics will help foster constructive conversation to deal with these difficult topics.
Time ManagementWill you respect the decisions that I make about managing my time, and as a parent what do you still feel that you should have control over?
Rides, curfew, friends, money, …
Alcohol & Cigarettes (if applicable)You probably know that we were exposed to the experience of drinking, and in many cultures and countries drinking is accepted, and often encouraged. What are your views on my enjoying a glass of beer, or wine during dinner, and what effects would that have on the family?I may smoke now; can we discuss the topic?* (have a mature conversation about this)
MoneyAfter living abroad, I realize that my spending habits may need to change. How financially independent do you think I should be?
ChoresWhat am I expected to do around the house (i.e. dishes, trash, laundry), and have the ways of doing these chores changed at all? On exchange my responsibilities were probably different; please remember to give me time to adjust.
Siblings (if applicable)Have there been any major developments in my siblings’ lives, and how am I expected to treat them? (Keep in mind that your experiences, new lifestyle, and what you say in front of them will especially affect younger siblings.)
SchoolCan we talk with the school counselor and make sure I am able to graduate? Get your schedule set as soon as possible, make sure you have all the necessary documentation.
Note: not all experiences are the same, be prepared…
*Alaskan and Canadian 05-06 rebounds do not endorse smoking. We believe smoking is stupid – you should stop.
