[quote=Anonymous]First of all, I love the Doris Day-James Garner reference. Second, we've been there 2x and lived to tell the story; just one more kid to go and we'll be done. All went well for #1 and #2, but the stress was real, even for the coolest of cool kids. (Maybe even more so for the unflappable types who try to keep it all bottled up.) ITA with the PP who suggested applying EA to a good safety; that is, one your DS would really be willing to attend -- maybe not tickled pink, but reasonably happy. I would add this invaluable piece of advice I received from a friend: schedule a weekly meeting to discuss applications with your DS. Do not raise the issue of colleges or applications with DS at any other time, but do respond if he brings it up. The idea is to create a haven at home, a stress-free zone where he can escape from the craziness at school. Que sera, OP, vaya con dios. [/quote]
