Okay, the day is here. You know, that day that you thought you were going to be completely ready for when you started out this school year way back when. But you’re not…what happened? You now realize that there are about 5 months left before the year ends and there is no plan for your child to cross that “bridge” and enter “adulthood!” What to do, what to do??
Don’t despair. You still have some time, but it’s short and it must be used wisely. Over the next few discussions I will be sharing info, thoughts, and ideas on a number of topics related to getting the ducks into a row, starting with what I call “The Fork In The Road.” The fork in the road is the place where it’s time to get realistic about what the future can possibly look like for your child and ultimately for yourself. It’s an emotional place, and the spot where there may be disagreement between people regarding what next steps should truly be for a student. It’s a critical juncture and one that should be made a priority. So I end with the “Yogiism” “When you come to the fork in the road, take it.”
