[quote=Anonymous]What I’ve found for my son who has mental health issues that have gotten in the way of being able to keep pace with kids his age is that success breeds success. It started with little things - getting a job, saving money, registering for a class, showing up for the class, doing something that was hard for him that most would find easy. We got there by really small steps and me helping a lot, but of course you can’t force an adult. I helped with job applications and drove him to interviews. I did the class registration for him (he was present with me). I made the appointment with the college counselor and went with him. It took awhile (like years) but he is now independent and has a plan. And I have become an extremely patient person in the meantime - nothing happened fast. Good luck. This is probably going to be a tough few weeks with school starting so you might want to be extra vigilant. [/quote]
