Parent Compass: 5 Quintessential Conversations Surrounding College Admission with Co-Authors Eric Furda and Jacques Steinberg

With refreshing honesty and candidness, co-authors Eric Furda and Jacques Steinberg urge families to approach the college admission process with an open mind. They espouse the value of open lines of communication among family members during the stressful process of applying to college, and their 5 conversations give families the roadmap to approach it with intention, setting appropriate boundaries as they do so. They advise on how to appropriately approach admission celebrations and disappointments, and they do all of it with a healthy dose of wisdom and empathy.
