Few moments in parenting are as fraught as preparing your kid for
college. Let a trusted pro show you how it's done. Written for
parents and families of college-bound students, Jon McGee's Dear
Parents is an essential tool you'll need to navigate the complex
and often emotional challenge of getting your daughter or son
prepared for-and through-college. Organized chronologically, the
book takes readers through the stages of childhood leading up to
college, as well as the process of searching for and selecting a
college. From the decisions you make during your child's early
years to the process of setting up their dorm room, this book
provides parents with insights, wisdom, and guidance about college,
college preparation, and choosing a college. Letters written by
college and educational professionals, all with children, frame and
illuminate each chapter. Drawing on their personal and professional
experience, these experts offer practical and sympathetic advice
about preparing for college. The book concludes with insights about
sending children off to college and the appropriate roles for
parents as your children experience these important years.
Undergirded by research but informed by on-the-ground insight, Dear
Parents is designed to both engage and inform while demystifying
the daunting and ever-changing process of entering college. "If
you've picked up this book, my guess is you don't need convincing
that there is a lifelong return from a college education. You want
to understand the process better and you'd like to help your teen
smartly navigate their choices. You picked wisely if that's the
case. . . . Jon McGee is a wonderful guide, shedding light on the
mysterious process of applying to college while bringing much
insight to the inevitable trade-offs."-from the foreword by Chris
Farrell, Marketplace
