[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say that in 4 weeks of doing this, we’ve gone from me guiding every step to her independently doing 80% of it and feeling a lot of ownership of the process. High school is still brand new, college is 4 years from now.

How’s sink or swim working for you?[/quote]

Lol

Np. My MIL quit work to help her dyslexic adhd son from age onwards. And onwards. FIL even did his math homework in grad school. They always were surprised he would pass his courses, somehow get on enough on a test to graduate plus all the family’s homework.

Anyhow, he’s 41, single and lives at home. [/quote]

Ok, and I know someone who typed her son's grad school papers and organized all his work. He's a highly paid engineer.

There is no right one way. Helicoptering works some of the time, but not all. Letting them sink or swim is the same. I chose sink or swim for my own sanity and so far it's swim! Yay, but that doesn't mean I have the one right way.

The bottom line is that there aren't enough jobs for everyone to have a decent one. So we drive ourselves nuts trying to guarantee success. It's a whole lot of "doing the disorder" if you follow Lynn Lyons and her work on anxiety. [/quote]
