[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mean go and show up without telling him you’re coming? No, I wouldn’t do that. You need to communicate that you are there for him, you know he can handle the pressure of finals, but if he wants you to come to him to take him out for a meal, you’re happy to do so. But if you panic, you’re sending him the message that this is a huge deal, that he clearly cant handle tough situations. That crying is worth needing rescue. Be there for him; offer support, but don’t rush to rescue unless he actually talks about suicide or suicidal ideation or displays other mental health issues. Being stressed out and crying is not a mental health crisis.[/quote] He’s 18 not 5. You don’t have to worry about “sending a message.” I would definitely go but let him know I am coming. If he refuses then I’d back off. But dropping in for dinner to encourage your kid? Of course. [/quote]
