[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12-year-old knows how to politely get a conversation back on track, and avoid answering personal questions if they make her uncomfortable. You need to spend less time trying to “educate” total strangers and spend more time helping your son to prepare for, you know, life. [/quote] +100[/quote] This. expect the question and have him have a response in his back pocket like” oh I’m still making final decisions,” laugh politely and then talk about the college counseling office and how supportive they are. Or answer as if they are asking about which part of the country, “a number of places out west” or “ I’m looking at some liberal arts colleges in the mid west” or program specific, “I’m looking at colleges with strong drama programs” … There are lots of ways to answer without giving specific info. That is a life skill. [/quote]
