While working with a student struggling with their grades, the student confesses that they are feeling overwhelmed with their responsibilities at home but don't feel comfortable talking to their family about it. How can you best help this student?
1) Advise the student to talk to their friends about what's going on at home and ask their advice.
2) Encourage the student to be open and honest with their family and let them know that school is their priority now over responsibilities at home.
3) Help the student to create an accounting of all their responsibilities at home to identify key areas that could be adjusted.
4) Suggest the student stop spending so much time with their family because they don't understand. Encourage them to try to make friends at school.
