[quote=Anonymous]My college student texted something that sounded stressed out. I called them. We spoke for quite some time, and they shared their worries. They had a situation at work and, while acing several classes, struggle mightily with one subject despite attending study sessions and working with a tutor. I did my best to put a spotlight on what's going well with most of their classes. Yes, one class is not going well at all. I share this "bad" news to show this kid of mine is not perfect because so many here say they have the perfect kid attending Harvard, etc. Mostly, I let them speak. Spouse asked if they wanted advice. They said they just wanted to talk, so we didn't give advice. This might be a good time to reach out to your college students. See how they are. Do your best not to give advice unless they specifically ask for it. Listen to them. I wish I'd had someone who would have done that for me. [/quote]
