There is tons of information about parenting students through the college admissions process, so much so that it can sometimes feel a bit overwhelming. I hope this resource list of my favorite resources will be a starting point for you to get valuable information.
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?? Parents can play a wonderful role in the college application process. Supporting your child as they think introspectively about themselves and consider their priorities for college is often a confusing and challenging time for the entire family. Happily, there is a way to navigate the process with less stress and more fun, where parents can help their children make great choices and your family can learn more about each other along the way.
HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE RESOURCES THAT I HOPE YOU FIND HELPFUL, EDUCATIONAL AND INSIGHTFUL.
