[quote=Anonymous]DS is a freshman-- he's bright but has EF challenges. We're making sure that he is in a few extra curricular activities that he truly enjoys (and will participate in all four years) and that he has study hall to take some of the homework pressure off at night. DS likes science so we're helping him with summer camps that he will get a lot out of and will demonstrate to colleges that science is his genuine area of interest. It helps fill out the "extras" without overloading him during the school year when he needs to be focused on grades. We're going to take him on informal college tours next year and we're going to listen to what makes him happy, while keeping it realistic (finances, chances of acceptance, etc.) and try to help him find a niche. I attended grad school at a place that was (in terms of weather and size) difficult for me. Even as an adult I became depressed my first year. A good environment is key. [/quote]
