Over Thanksgiving you may have connected with some students who came home for the holiday. If you were able to do so those times could’ve been great…or a bit awkward. And, maybe you weren’t able to connect. The time is often short and filled with family traditions…and any time with friends they could fit in during their short stay at home.
But, winter break is usually different. They’ll have up to a month at home. And even if they hold a job back at school, they’ll likely have a couple weeks or so. That to say, connecting with them during this time is more probable. Plus, most are looking forward to just being at home and doing “nothing.” About this time of the year they’re overwhelmed by the end of the semester, papers being due, and finals coming up. But the light at the end of the tunnel is that break at home.
So, this is a great time to connect with them. But there are some things we need to be aware of and one in particular – potential relational awkwardness. So, I recently wrote a little article on some things to keep in mind when we’re re-connecting with students over the break. For that article, click here.
