<description>&lt;p&gt;We recently received an email from a parent with a question. This mom was concerned that in spite of a number of supports, her son was struggling and not doing well. She could see far enough down the road to be fairly certain he was going to fail and she wondered whether failing was the only way he would realize that he needs to use his supports more fully. This mom wants to hold on to the hope that her son will come through - and she asks for some strategies to guide him. In this episode Vicki and Lynn do their best to share some of those strategies – along with some reassurance and hope.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Thank you for listening!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Much more information for college parents can be found on our website, &lt;a href='https://www.collegeparentcentral.com/'&gt;College Parent Central&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Find us on Twitter at @CollParCentral&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href='https://www.collegeparentcentral.com/college-parent-central-newsletter-signup/'&gt;Sign up for our newsletter&lt;/a&gt; for ongoing information&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href='https://lovethepodcast.com/collegeparentcentral'&gt;Please leave us a review at “Love the Podcast”&lt;/a&gt; to help others find us.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;</description>

We recently received an email from a parent with a question. This mom was concerned that in spite of a number of supports, her son was struggling and not doing well. She could see far enough down the road to be fairly certain he was going to fail and she wondered whether failing was the only way he would realize that he needs to use his supports more fully. This mom wants to hold on to the hope that her son will come through - and she asks for some strategies to guide him. In this episode Vicki and Lynn do their best to share some of those strategies – along with some reassurance and hope.
