An adult student logs in and shares with you that they are feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Each week, they do their best to schedule study time, but kids, family, work, and other obligations get in the way. The student always feels they are falling behind and rushing to complete their schoolwork at the last minute. Which of these is the LEAST effective way to help this student?
1) Assist the student with scheduling and prioritizing.
2) Suggest the student set boundaries and expectations with family.
3) Talk with the student about delegating other responsibilities so study time can have a protected time and space.
4) Suggest the student consider a semester off and try again when they have fewer obligations.
