As parents, I believe our job is to support their choices but also ensure they’re informed and being truthful to themselves regarding opportunities outcomes.

So son had been out of affiliated ball for almost 3 years. He insisted that he didn't have to return to finish his degree to get a good job. No way, we said, he was going to finish what he started. We explained in simple terms what it might mean later on. Plus he would lose his mlb scholarship $$. And it was a lot to lose.

Sure enough, 9 years later he would not be where he is today if we had let him follow his plan.
