Update: 2025-06-10
Description
In this episode, we tackle a tough dilemma many parents face: What do you do when your teen wants to quit an activity they've been doing for years, especially with college applications looming? We explore the tension between demonstrating commitment to admissions officers and honoring your student's evolving interests and mental health. Learn how to have honest conversations about timing, motivation, and the real impact on college applications. We discuss when it makes sense to encourage your teen to stick it out, when walking away is the right choice, and how to help them tell their story authentically, whether they stay or go. This episode will help you support your student in making decisions that are true to who they are, not just what looks good on paper. S1, E7
