[quote=Anonymous]It’s obviously anxiety on her part. I’d tell her that her time for this is a long way away and focus on her being in the moment. Kids here worry about too early. I’d take her aside or out for lunch and tell her that you imagine this must be difficult to go through for her. She’s also going to have to adjust to his absence from the home. Let her tell you what she is thinking, and don’t let all the family talk be about him, and emphasize that everyone finds the right spot when it’s time. Then be clear about how it’s unkind to be snarky about his brother and imagine if the roles were reversed. If the unkindness continues, there needs to be consequences. And talk to the brother about his take on the situation. He may be able to help reassure her and emphasize that college is a long way away and everyone finds a different, legitimate way forward in life. [/quote]
