1. What to do if the child does not want to work? Backstory matters. Did he go to study at will, or did his parents impose it on him? Who chose the university: him or mom and dad? Perhaps, refusing to work, the guy unconsciously takes revenge on his parents.

   Workdays should teach the child to build their reality, take responsibility, organize themselves and adapt to a new environment.
