My oldest boy turns 18 in a month and he’s a bit down atm after a rough time with the lockdown and now car and friend and girl troubles. I reach out with suggestions and sometimes have success, but at that age who the hell like, wants to listen to Dad, right? But I reach out anyway with sit-down-together meals and offers of film nights and walks which he sometimes takes me up on. I reach out and it seems to help. Letting him drive my car seems to help. Hugs are good too.
