[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Encourage your kid to find and devote time to something they love. Get involved in a group activity (doesn't have to be sports). Stay attuned to mental health changes.[/quote] This. Exactly. I have one who graduated HS in 2020, one graduating this year,and one graduating in 2023. Make them do something long enough to find out if they love it---dabbling in lots of things turns out to be fine, but only if they also have one or two principal interests to dig into deep. And I don't mean this advice just for college admissions (tho it seems to be what many colleges look for) Kid will likely be happier if they have some devotions and when mental health issues do pop up (they have in 2 out of 3 of mine), try to address right away with counseling/therapy/meds[/quote]
