I am scared they are not prepared for the 24/7 freedom they will have, won't manage it and get themselves into trouble academically or socially?
I am panicked that my child will have only him/herself to rely on at college and they are not ready for that responsibility.

You have a right to be worried because these and so many other questions keep parents up at night the summer before college.
There are 7 strategic skills that students need and you can teach these skills to your child before they head to college.
Don't be fooled into thinking that high school has prepared them! They have been micromanaged all throughout high school and now they will have 24/7 freedom!
This workshop will minimize the amount of time your child spends transitioning because they will know what to expect ahead of time and have an action plan ready to go.
They will move through the bumps of the first month and first semester with confidence knowing they have you to count on and more importantly, they can count on themselves.
Organizational Consultant Kristin Borostyan, a former school counselor, will share her expertise as well as insights on what colleges, universities, and current college students are saying about being successful the 1st year of college so you can stop needlessly worrying about your child and give them the skills they need for success:
- Encouraging independence and self-reliance while building skills and confidence
- What colleges are saying about incoming freshman and how to support them
- Tips to help your child with organization, time management lessons and creating accountability
- Deciphering what products will help them stay organized and how to plan ahead
- How to discuss important matters like finances, grades and conduct at school
- Creating Great Parenting Moments (GPM) and building an adult/child relationship
- How to prepare yourself and your family for the change in family dynamics
This workshop will be interactive and parent participation will be encouraged. Leave confident knowing your child will have the tools and support necessary to be successful their first semester in college. Make it a smoother, less stressful and more enjoyable process for everyone.
