[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The semester (at JMU) seemed to have gone ...fine. Grades aren't amazing, and she struggled socially a bit, but I have never heard of this until now. Last night in a tearful catharsis she's going on and on about how she just doesn't think she was ready for college, doesn't think she belongs there, and so on, and doesn't think she wants to go back for the next semester.

How do you deal with this?![/quote]

You would probably be surprised at how many kids go through this, my niece who everyone thought would be the poster child for college did the same thing. Her mom (my sister) had no issue allowing her to stay home for a semester to see how things were. Turns out she did amazing, made some nice friends and decided she wanted to stay home for school. At first my sister and BIL had a hard time as they so wanted her to have that quintessential college experience but in the end decided to let her make that decision. It was a smart one. She graduated last year and is now attending Vanderbilt Law School![/quote]
