[quote=Anonymous]First, I'd let him have his feelings for a bit longer. It's normal and understandable for him to be disappointed. It's been a long, intense road to here, and it didn't turn out the way he hoped. It's understandable that he's upset and unhappy. Some people are wired to shake off those feelings and make an immediate transition to embracing their next best option. But my guess is they're in the vast minority. So while it's HARD as a parent to watch your kid be unhappy, let him feel the feelings and work through them. He'll survive this stretch and so will you. And . . . has he visited the campus? If not, I would plan a trip up to visit SOON. There's nothing like being there to help him visualize next year. Timing is probably a bit tricky with finals and graduation coming soon, but it's worth trying before the students leave. [/quote]
