#123 – Is Your Student Ready to Be a Citizen? It’s Never Too Late to Learn.

We were excited to have a chance to talk to Lindsey Cormack for this podcast episode. Lindsey is the author of the book How to Raise a Citizen (and why it’s up to you to do it.) Most of us don’t spend much time thinking about how our students learn about how the government works, how government affects our lives, how to register to vote, and why it matters. In our conversation, Lindsey helped us understand why schools often avoid teaching civics, and she helped us learn how parents can approach these topics with their kids – even their grown-up kids! Lindsey is clearly passionate about the importance of this topic (you’ll hear that in her voice) and her enthusiasm is contagious – especially as she explained how raising a citizen can give us hope. This episode will fuel your interest in learning more about government along with your student.

Why Bother With College Admission Open Houses?

The college admissions process involves so many things. Exploring websites, narrowing lists, completing applications and essays, filling out financial aid forms, making college visits, waiting for acceptances, and making decisions. So much to do!

With so many things to do, why bother with Admission Open Houses? Why not just make a list, apply, wait to see whether you are accepted and then go visit those schools?

Actually, that plan – apply first, wait, visit – works for many students. If that is your student’s plan, that’s fine. But they may be missing out on a step in the process that can matter more than your student realizes.

#122 – Encore Episode- Signs of Trouble: How Do You Know If Your Student Is Struggling?

Once your child steps into the world of college — even if it is in the next room — both parents and students begin experiencing a new stage in development. Students are exploring the academic and social world of college; parents are exploring the experience of stepping back and watching them do it.  But, it is also part of the parenting package to worry.  In this episode, Lynn and Vicki highlight some of the signs that parents can watch for that may indicate that their student is struggling. All college students will hit a few bumps in the road, and the more parents can think about how to identify signs of trouble, how to explore situations further, and how to  decide whether or not to intervene, the better armed they will be to support their student’s growth.
