What do you mean by “not great” grades? Failing, or not 4.0?

It’s honestly a little weird that you’re this into your child’s business after they’ve gone off to college, especially since this doesn’t even seem like a major crises (drug or alcohol problem, major psychiatric crisis) that I saw a ton of people go through in college.

Assuming they’re not failing, that they even got an internship after their first year shows a ton of initiative. I wouldn’t be too worried.

It does sound like you might be a helicopter parent though. In that case, did they get this internship largely of their own initiative or is it something you pushed them into?
