You’re right Nancy. Working on the essay can help relieve some of the stress once the student starts his senior year. Thanks for the added advice.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention making sure the student starts the college application essays. The school year becomes busy with school work and after-school activities. The sooner a student starts, the more time he or she will have to make improvements. Be careful not to sound like you’re nagging. If procrastination is a problem, or if the family isn’t sure if the relayed story will attract admissions officers, a writing coach/editor who specializes in college application essays can be beneficial.

Such good parenting advice, take some preparation on your part, knowing what to expect, how to respond, and just let the life event happen.Expect the emotion, rejection, and the celebration of growing up, as your child shapes their world by their own hands!
