Parenting for the post-high school transition:

As students approach high school graduation their life is full of choices. This time of transition can be overwhelming for both you and your student: choosing the right place, completing applications and contemplating the expense.  Or, for some, deciding if college is the right path and considering whether a gap year or employment would be a better choice. It is a pivotal time for the parent-child relationship.

A parent knows their child best and wants their experience to be successful and fulfilling. Yet knowing how to support them while managing your own feelings can be challenging to navigate.  An independent perspective from a coach helps a parent feel grounded and confident guiding your child through this time of transition.

  • Develop confidence in guiding your child

  • Find enjoyment in the transition

  • Be prepared for the next steps

  • Understand the post high-school options and the world of higher education

  • Readiness for Change – Preparing for the emotional and practical shifts ahead
