The Parent-Student Relationship In College Searches

The parent-student relationship in college searches is delicate and should be treated as such. There are a number of ways that parents can effectively assist their children in selecting the right college to begin the next chapter of their life. For example, aiding in the research on college options. There are a lot of options out there and a high school sophomore or junior may not know where to begin. Fortunately, there are services and tools available, such as the EncourageMe app, to sort colleges by feature and help determine the best fits. Parents should encourage students to start this search early and avoid overly-influencing the choices. After a student compiles the list, parents can show support by visiting the options together, either virtually or in-person. This is just one of the ways that parents can make a meaningful difference through their involvement.
