Children For College

Too many High School parents think that their
only role is to push their children to get good
grades, so they will be accepted by a better
college. However, in reality, parents of the most
successful college students usually play a much
broader role. Parents can assist in the following
ways

Give your children opportunities to visit
other cities,historic sites, national parks, etc
and anything else you can think of that will
broaden their perspective.

wrong,honesty, respect, public behavior,table
manners,teamwork and cooperation. Since children
learn by example, parental behavior is critical.

opportunities to build their reading, writing,
speaking and presentation skills.

Students who do not accept responsibility for
their words, actions, behavior and performance
are not ready for college. It is the parent's
role to teach their children to become
responsible citizens.

activities, part-time and summer jobs and
community involvement will give students a more
realistic view of the competitive world.
