Default Stay On It

Dear Teachers,

a. I’m sorry to hear this is happening, glad to see you’re staying on it.
- “you’re staying on it” means “you’re sticking to it”, right?

b. You should take away things that make your son’s life easier, you see fit.
- What does “you see fit” mean in this sentence?

Thanks

Namsteven

a. yes

b. That should be "as you see fit" = "as you feel it is necessary or appropriate".
