[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]If her kid really wants to know if colleges care she would take the initiative to ask her guidance counselor.  [/b]This is not kid driven, it’s helicopter mother driven.

This is the perfect example of a situation where the mother should back off.[/quote]

So you never provide your kid with any input or advice regarding something they haven't yet asked you about? [/quote]

Not about something like this.  No.  [/quote]

Wait, so if you kid asks what you think, what would you do?   [b]Would you give him a thoughtful response, or would you just say, "figure it out yourself."[/b][/quote]

You ask them questions about it that will tease out their feelings without injecting your POV. Ask how many students are in NHS nationally and at their high school. Ask them what kind of service projects their school chapter does and whether they would enjoy participating in them. Ask them how they'd balance commitments to NHS with their other responsibilities.

Plenty of ways to guide and encourage your kids to make their own decisions. None of which include giving advice.
