How much are they engaged in planning their future right now?
Coz DD (insists she'll study medicine) is impressing us with lack of engagement & enthusiasm about her proposed career. The only fantasy future DD talks about, revolves around her boyfriend. She admitted to being overwhelmed about what a medicine application requires, so I offered to look up when Open Days were. DD engaged enough to talk about which Unis to visit. I found & sent loads of course info, including ODs in date order to DD. She barely looked at the info (from what I can tell). She's ostriching rather than making plans to make decisions, collect info, get the application prepared.
Am I right to perceive that DD's lack of engagement is likely sign she's declared a plan that her heart doesn't really want? And if so, what do I do about it?
