2. Do ask your child how you can best offer support. Start by finding out exactly what your child would like from you in her search for a mate. Robyn M. Posson, a counselor at Schenectady County Community College, suggests, “Do they need a shoulder to cry on, advice or a nonjudgmental sounding board?” Be prepared for the possibility that your child may ask that you do absolutely nothing. “If they want or need no involvement from you, step back and trust that they will figure it out for themselves.”
6. Do suggest breaks -- and counseling. There’s more to life than searching (and finding) a mate. Remind your child to engage in favorite hobbies, and invite him or her to join you on outings. “Caring for the self with enjoyable activities lifts their mood and fills their free time in meaningful ways,” Posson says. If such offers and suggestions are rebuffed, see if they're open to professional help. “Counseling will recharge their self-confidence and self-acceptance and strengthen their ability to trust themselves and others,” she says.

“Get out of your office and take a quick, brisk walk for 3-5 minutes (maybe around your building or parking lot), telling yourself that you can handle whatever is given to you and you will do it well and on time. Fresh air, a change in scenery, and positive self-talk are an awesome combination to calm your nerves and clear your head.” -- Robyn M. Posson, counselor
