Our kids knew enough to get into college, but do they now know enough to go to and survive college? Here's how to help them (and you) get prepared.
A funny thing starts to happen this time of year for both high school seniors and their parents. It’s a bit of a senior spring awakening in a sense. Sometimes it is more the parent; sometimes it is more the student, but there is a dawning question of “Am I ready to go to college, or is my child ready to go to college?”
People are also reading… You look at their messy room or perhaps their scrunched-over body while they are sitting at the kitchen counter slurping cereal and watching a YouTube video, and you may be thinking, “I need to teach them so much more because they are not ready to leave home.” Have them go to the dentist soloSend them on an appointment before they leave for college, and then have them make a follow-up appointment for when they are home on break. Make sure they put it on their phone/calendar with a reminder. Learning how to do things solo and then having the forward-thinking ability to plan for the future is a new concept to some kids. I have run the family calendar for years and all they have had to do is show up.
Remember when they all started kindergarten and they all got sick because it was new kids and a new environment? Well, the same theory applies to college. Have them get a job before going off to collegeNothing is more of a reality check than learning how to deal with other people while working. This could be the people they are working with or the people or clients they are serving.
