When Someone "Fails to Launch"

If I Had a Child Who Failed to Launch

I know someone whose child is finishing his senior year in high school with a 1.5 GPA. He has “learning differences” including “poor executive functioning” and is doing lots of drugs. The parent has decided to send him to a wilderness residential school for drug-abusing kids in hopes “that will better prepare him for college.”

If I were his parent, I'd do something quite different. My PsychologyToday.com article today explains what I'd do.
