@rachelledurranthostmom: “My host family doesn’t spend enough time with me.” This is another message I often receive from exchange students who are considering changing families. But that sentence does not tell us what is actually happening. There is a major difference between a host family that regularly ignores, excludes, or isolates a student—and a family that is living normal, busy life.
Do you have a system about when you host two or one student? Like every other year is one and every other is two, or is it just something you decide when you start looking at profiles?🫶🏼

So my family we hang out in a parallel play sort of way. We all do our own thing in the same room. We eat out occasionally and we don't do a lot

It can be hard to gauge when to give someone space and went to actively engage them.

Zoé goes to bed so early 😂 I’ve had to adjust to the fact I won’t see her much during the week and embrace the small moments in the car so she can get her teenage sleep.

My host family is the best in the world! i arrived 2 weeks before school! My host family is working from home and in these 2 weeks we did more than i did in my life. Now is already 2-3 weeks school and we're still doing sooo much. We got an problem with public transport in my area and my host family is driving me everywhere. They are the best!! We are basically best friends

Or it looks like “I slept until 1pm” and the family had morning activities they went to and the student chose to sleep in.
