Parents, as your kids get older, it’s hard to differentiate what they need you to do from what they can and should do for themselves. As your student progresses through high school, help them take charge of their education and their college application process, which includes:
- Meeting with teachers or counselors
- Fundraising for activities
- Making phone calls to inquire about volunteer opportunities
- Researching colleges
- Contacting colleges to get application questions answered
- Completing the college applications
The more students do for themselves, the more appealing they’ll be to colleges and the more prepared they’ll be once they enroll.
