[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s not failure to thrive. It’s failure to launch. [/quote] Actively going to college and achieving a B- GPA is not failure to launch! Failure to launch is not pursuing a trade or higher education and not putting effort into finding employment, sitting around your parents house playing video games.[/quote] NP. Well, "failure to thrive" is an established term that refers to young children failing to meet expected weight and growth milestones. It has nothing to do with young adults and is confusing for people who actually know things to see it used in this context. I'm not sure what the clinical term is for what OP is describing...maybe at-risk for failure to launch? If he is specifically saying he wants to live at home forever I'd be concerned, though it is difficult to tell from the OP how much of this is directly coming from the child and how much is OP making assumptions based on current GPA.[/quote]
