With more and more teens defaulting to the internet and various social media applications, it might be easy to assume as a parent that you may be unable to assist too much in the college admissions process. However, there’s always the traditional means of sourcing information that parents are more accustomed to. For example, a prime resource to utilize is a high school counselor. These professionals may open doors to opportunities you or your child may not have been aware of previously, such as college-prep events and dual credit courses. You could also encourage your teen to attend an upcoming college fair, either at school or in the community. Great for answering questions, obtaining instructive literature and more, these live events offer prospective students a more in-depth look into nearby universities and institutions of higher learning. Though they may not believe it themselves, parents are always able to provide value and help their children throughout these search processes, even without direct experience themselves. To learn more about how you can help your child throughout this time in their life, please see the resource coupled alongside this post for more information.
