What’s Shocked Us Most About Going on College Tours
Description
I can’t believe we’re saying this, but we are looking at colleges with our daughter, Caroline. One day, you’re dropping your kid off at preschool, and the next, they’re getting ready to fly the coop.
That’s literally how fast it’s gone.
In this episode, John and I talk about taking those first college tours, what we’re learning along the way, and what shocked us most about the process. (Any guesses on who handled themselves best during the tours?)
Plus, the one thing we’ve done which has focused the direction and strategy on which schools we should be looking at.
We also get real about how much we should be involved as parents and whether we’re projecting our own desires a bit too much on our kids.
Life Happens. Let’s Talk About It.
