Your Child Will Be Heading Off to College! Are You Ready? March is typically when high school seniors breathlessly wait for college acceptance letters to arrive. Suddenly it becomes very real to parents that their child will be leaving soon to start the next chapter of his or her life. There is a lot the student needs to do to prepare for that next step, and usually the college will send incoming students a thick package of useful information. But there is also a lot that parents need to do and know before they wave goodbye at the airport or dorm. Thankfully Marie Carr, one mom who kept careful track of everything she learned the hard way as her three daughters went off to college, has assembled lots of important and smart tips in a helpful handbook that all parents of a college-bound student will want to have - both for the getting ready phase and for quick reference later. Prepared Parent's Operational Manual: Sending Your Child to College covers everything from student banking and dorm life to health insurance, class schedules and support services. There are forms, checklists and helpful tips, including not only what students can take to school but also what they should leave behind. Prepared Parent's Operational Manual: Sending Your Child to College will help parents deal with the nitty-gritty details of sending their child off to college.

Parents of a College Bound Senior,
By
This review is from: Prepared Parent's Operational Manual: Sending Your Child to College (Perfect Paperback)
It is difficult enough for us parents to manage the college search process. Then, it is the time to educate our senior on what to expect in his/her first year in college. Finally it is time to allow us, as concerned and loving parents, to have a single resource to assure we are aware of what we must know to assist our son/daughter to make a successful transition from high school to college. The "Parent's Operational Manual" is that single resource. It is written by a family team with several real life experiences in the process of successfully navigating the road to college. Parents are traditionally the least informed on key topics important to the operations of the chosen college/university. This book wipes away a majority of this confusion.

This review is from: Prepared Parent's Operational Manual: Sending Your Child to College (Perfect Paperback)
Bought the book for my daughter who was stressing over my granddaughter going to college this fall. She loved all the ideas and took it with them shopping to get all the things she needed. They bought several books on the website that was recommended and saved money. She really loved the idea of getting additional insurance for any items lost, stolen or broken and they purchased a safe that has a wrap-around cable that was suggested in the book. Great book for parents of college-bound children!
