How to not be a backseat driver
We’ve all had those moments driving when a passenger crosses the line between trusty navigator and backseat driver. And no one likes a backseat driver. Being a parent of a child who is moving through high school and towards college is kind of like that. (Ok, it’s waaay harder, but go with me here).
Students need guidance. As a parent, you know your child needs to be pushed, encouraged, challenged and celebrated as they move ever closer to adulthood. But let’s face it – there is also a seemingly conflicting message out there suggesting parents ‘back off’.
So how do you toe that fine line between supporting your child without taking over or adding paralyzing pressure to their process?
Join us on Sunday, May 21 at 6:00 pm for Parental Units & Their Place in the Admissions Process. Colledge’s President & Founder Jenny Umhofer and Director of Client Services Kelsey Torosyan will be sitting down to share their years of experience with you, including:
- traits of the model parent co-pilot
- our application year timeline for parents
- do’s and don’ts of supporting your student’s path through high school
- the most common #parentingmistakes
The best part is, we’ll also have a Colledge parent joining us to share her experience ushering not one, not two, but three daughters through the admissions process.
And to help you jump start your child’s process, we’re also offering a one-time discount card for our Student Assessment for Admissions for live viewers only. This is not an event you want to miss – sign up HERE.
At Colledge, our raison d’être is to lighten your load when it comes to the nuanced, increasingly complex work of applying to college while helping students shine in the eyes of the colleges on their list (read more about today’s admissions landscape here). So if you need more help, we’re here for you. Reach out for a free Student Success Call, and we’ll help you see your way through. Without being a backseat driver.
