Parent's dilemma: sit back or intervene?

<p>There are kids with senioritis in HS who pull it together in college, and kids we were top students in HS who let loose when they get to college. YMMV</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There are 2 important lessons he learned, I hope–when he applies himself he can do it; also the opposite–when he doesn’t apply himself, he will crash and burn. </p>

<p>This will be especially true at college.</p>

<p>OP, I’m glad things worked out. I suspect this was a valuable lesson to him.</p>
