“My daughter recently graduated college and now seems paralyzed living at home with no job. What am I supposed to do?”

This week’s “Tips on Teens” features a question from a mother who is unsure how to handle her daughter returning to live at home after graduating college. Here’s the question:

“My daughter recently graduated from a UC with a major in Communications and has returned home. She did very well in school, but now seems paralyzed. She’s not applying for jobs and doesn’t know what to do. She says that she has no idea what she wants to do with her life. I thought that she would be on her way in life by now. What am I supposed to do?”
