[quote=Anonymous]I’ve got a 19 yo kid with significant mental issues that still manages a 35 hour a week job this summer. I think life is complicated and kids are afraid and paralyzed. We did a lot of direct action with him—driving him to interviews, making sure he’s on time and forms filled out. Then over the weeks I step back. Let him get to and from work on his own. Force him to pack own lunch. This is a person with pretty strong impairments. Being a grownup is tough work and a big change. I hope you can counsel your kids wisely on what to do. We are grateful for all he’s learned this summer and how it’s changed his thinking. [/quote]
