Key Takeaways:


Communication is Key: Keep open and honest lines of communication with your child to understand their goals, concerns, and preferences.

Prioritize Self-Care: Both parents and students must practice self-care to navigate this emotionally taxing time.


Quotes from the Episode:


Seth Greene: “It’s not about getting into the most prestigious school; it’s about finding the right fit for your child.”
