[quote=Anonymous]With my seemingly unmotivated one, I planned lunch dates with him so we could talk and work through the college planning cycle. I asked a lot of questions and tried to guide the conversation. Being in a neutral environment at a previously set time helped give him the structure needed. It could be your kid is just sort of a absent minded professor type (like mine who could get so absorbed in what was in front of him) and needs some low pressure guidance in order to focus on long term planning. I worried a bit about him going off to college with what I perceived to be living in a constant state of disorganization but he got through it, graduated and is successfully adulting with a great job as a software engineer. I think that ability to get lost in a task is a plus for that field. But perhaps perceived as a negative by more type A people like me. [/quote]
