Whatever’s next…it’s not 13th grade: A dorm mom’s guide for a parent’s journey

So your teenager has reached a fork in the road as they finish high school. They could move onto college, or not. How can you as a parent be a positive part of those next steps?

This book can show parents how things work leading up to college and how things work once a student is admitted. Also, if a parent has a student who is not ready or willing–or both–this book can show how to help them figure out the best path that is not college. At least not yet (if ever). And that’s OK! We’ll talk about how to shift expectations of what success looks like for kids and better understand a positive role for the parent.

Author Rebecca Adair spent over 30 years in the higher education system in nearly a half dozen positions. Almost 11 of those years were spent as a dorm mom up-close-and-personal with the struggles of new students adjusting to college life. Often with a helicopter parent merely a call away. Whatever’s Next, It’s Not 13th Grade details the trials, successes, and insights she experienced on the front lines both personally and professionally.
