What suggestions do you have for today’s PARENTS as they face the high school-to-college transition? I would suggest to parents to make sure that their students stay on track with doing homework when transitioning from high school to college, because there are a lot more distractions and the homework is a lot more intense and time consuming. Also, teaching them personal responisibilty such as doing laundry and keeping their space clean is essential to the transition.
