CHILD COLLEGE CHINO : PRECIS

 

IF the anxiety is connected to academic performance - for instance, if your child is having difficulty following the professor and thinks everyone in the class is smarter - consider saying, '' Do the reading,'' 

Several times a semester, a student I've counseled tells me he or she discovered the secret to college.  Show up for class prepared !

This is often whispered rather sheepishly, even though my office is private.
