I  am very concerned about my son after high school graduation. He does not know what he wants to do and as much as I want him to go on to college, I don’t know that it is the best option for him. I try talking to him about it, but it always results in an argument that stresses both him and I which of course, is not what I want. How can Sage Day help my son with his next steps? 

Sincerely, 
Concerned Mom
