What do you think might help?
assitant
OK, great.  Do you have a specific topic you want me to help with?
assistant
My son is having difficulties paying attention in class and his grades are suffering. What should I do?

Here’s what I heard you say:

“my son is having difficulties paying attention in class, and his grades are suffering”

This is a statement of the facts.  From there, I’m going to guess that you’re going to ask me what you should do to help your son pay attention and get good grades.  Does that seem right?
assistant
Yes, exactly.
