My relationship with my teenager is already strained, and if I even mention college it causes conflict. How can a coach make it better?
The college process is stressful for both parents and students. Having an outside resource as an objective third party sounding board can alleviate tension. Parents can have confidence that there is a positive plan going forward, so they will feel less tempted to micro manage. Students can feel ownership and confidence in their own inner resources in applying, getting accepted and ultimately deciding on the college that suits them best.
