Some parents make the first decisions about their child’s education before their child is even born! Daycare and elementary waiting lists, open-house visits, admission tests, and thoughts of getting into the “right university” often come into our minds.

As you navigate puberty and the moody teen years, thoughts about college applications seem far off while you navigate emotional outbursts, changing friendships, and curfews! But before you know it, you are in the throws of your teen’s existential crisis, hearing “What am I going to do for the rest of my life?!” after he/she fails a math test, and then the college application process begins with, “I am never going to get in to college!”
