Hello Parents,

Have you ever thought to yourself what it takes to prepare children for college? I know that most of the time our idea of college seems to come from the movies we watch or the conversations we overhear. However that in itself won’t be enough to ensure your child is ready. Think of it this way, if you plan on buying a car would you A, buy a car without ever driving it, touching it, or even speaking with an expert? Or B, spend the time doing research and asking around for people’s opinion? If you answered A, let me be the first to tell you that isn’t the right answer. However if you picked B, then I’m happy to state that you’re on the right track. You see, if you want your child to be ready for college you need to do your research and ask the experts. You need to visit schools, talk to your teachers, and most importantly find out what your child wants to do. These simple tasks will help you and your child have a better game plan when time comes for college. The sooner you start the better chance you have on getting your child on track.
