[quote=Anonymous][/quote]Sink or swim is appealing, but each time we’ve tried it our kid has sunk like a stone and then become suicidal. So it doesn’t seem like an option. [/quote] I posted earlier in the thread about my sophomore not willing to ask for help and just wanted to echo that we had the same experience when we let go and tried 'sink or swim'. Adding depression, suicidality, and failing grades did not help my kid. And more importantly, it did not "motivate" him. He just ended up at the bottom of a shame spiral, certain that nothing or no one could ever help him because his challenges were too big.[/quote]
