High Schools Don't Prepare Parents For This...

Parents who know what's normal and to be expected can be a steadying force during the college years.  Learn what you can expect and how to help your student get comfortable with the normal natural uncomfortable changes ahead. 

Never Expect Perfection

The struggle is real. Parents who know facts and stats about first year students can reduce stress and guide their students.

Never Be a Gotcha Parent

Gotcha Parents catch their kids doing something wrong. Gotcha Back Parents trust their kids will tell them when they need them.

Never Assume You Have Access
