<p>I strongly agree with oldfort. Please do NOT back off. Coach your child. </p>
<p>This is from a child who has had their hand held for their entire existence. It’s a learning process for both my mom and me, but she has slowly guided me into taking things into my own hands. Rather than finding who to talk to, she asks who I can talk to, tells me to share the concerns I’m sharing with her with someone who has the power to do something. </p>
<p>I go to her all the time for advice on being professional and such. Your son still needs guidance.</p>
