I’m new to plant care. My son picked this out but it’s not doing well. Any suggestions?

Whenever I get a new succulent I always feel like I’m playing the guessing game of trying to figure out how they’ll best thrive in my home environment 😂 thank god they’re resilient lil guys, what I do is try and adjust maybe how much sun they have access to, how often you need to water it based on which lighting is best. It can take about 2 weeks for a plant to fully adjust to its new environment. When you are able to repot try to use soil specific for succulents/cactus. Usually my rule of thumb with succulents/cactus is “outta sight outta mind, remember to water when you remember you own the plant”. They’ll tell you/show signs if they need water just make sure when you water to water at it’s base/roots! Overwatering/watering on top of the leaves where it gets in the leaves little crevices can cause damage; I hope this helps!

Plus, if the plant is newish it might already have had some damage that it’ll need to outgrow. If you get to a point where you think it’s dying for sure, or if it drops leaves, you can propagate the leaves easily by laying them on top of the soil.
