Paid for the AP prep book off amazon he wanted.
Then left him alone in his room.

What would you have done/said if they responded that it was not going well and they were extremely stressed?
Troubleshoot, see if they needed help in content vs. a study schedule, reassure outcome nbd.
And if they said "I'm just not getting it and I don't know if I have time to figure it all out?!"

Land the helicopter, mom[b].
I was waiting for this.
OP said nothing at all about what would or could be done.
One thing I am doing is telling my child they do not have to participate in some other activities that would otherwise be obligatory either from a family obligation perspective, or from an EC perspective, so that they can study.
Do I need to "land the helicopter"?
Yes
So I should tell my kid they need to attend the EC or family event rather than study?

I told my DD not to worry so much about everybody asking each other how many APs, which ones, etc. and be happy that she doesn't have a crazy, status seeking, overbearing mother.

I bought a book with practice tests and helped them figure out a schedule to run through them. Don’t know what else there is to do.

I'm curious how parents are approaching this.
Scenario: Your kid has their first AP exam next week. Freshman. This kid has lofty goals for themselves and you want to enable them to achieve those goals.
How as a parent do you approach this? How, if at all, do you engage?
