Emotionally: How students handle different situations depends mainly on their emotional intelligence, a trait parents can play a role in developing. You can teach your child to journal and reach out to people they can trust to share their feelings.

情感方面: 人处理事情的方式方法主要是由其情商决定的，家长在孩子情商发展上也发挥着一定的作用。你可以教你的孩子通过写日记、接触信任的人来分享自身的感受。

Academically: You can help your child by monitoring their progress in school and helping them plan out their own academic schedule.

学业方面: 关注孩子在学校的学业进展，帮助他们制定自己的学习计划。

Socially: Because we are all part of a bigger social community. Parents are advised to encourage their children to think beyond themselves. Introducing the concept of global citizenship from a young age is vital as it prepares your child for a diverse larger community outside of theirs.

社交方面: 我们都是社会群体的一部分。我们建议父母要鼓励孩子要超越自我，注目更广阔的世界。在孩子小时候就引入全球公民意识的概念是至关重要的，因为它可以帮助你的孩子为加入一个更大、更多样化的社区做准备。

Physically: Teach your child the benefit of exercise on a daily basis. Joining an intramural sports team at university is advised; it will help them find new friends, get exercise and have an outlet for the challenges they will face. 

身体方面: 让孩子明白每天锻炼身体的好处。我们建议孩子在大学里可以加入一个校内运动队，这将帮助他们结交新的朋友、锻炼身体，并且在面临挑战时调整自己的情绪。
