Parents of College Bound Students Need Help Too

Today, I am encouraging 100 parents of college bound students to join my Facebook Fan page. Over the next few weeks I will offer tips so that your student will thrive while in college. “Like” me at http://on.fb.me/h9I9VT

Here are some of my tips for parents.

1. Talk with your child and offer advice several weeks prior to dropping them off at their dormitory.

2. Get them a time management book (Staples, Office Max etc.

3. Encourage them to meet every professor in their office

4. Take them out to a special dinner to let them know that you care

5. Encourage them to get a tutor at the moment that they do not understand something

6. Remind them that study groups are helpful

7. Remind them that physical fitness will help their mental fitness

8. Pray for wisdom daily

9. Stress the importance of turning assignments in on time.

One of the resources that I’ve developed for students is the “Seven Secrets of How to Study” at http://www.studyskills2u.com
