Parenting a High School Senior?

Are you a parent who is wondering what the future will hold for your high school senior? When the time comes to leave him at his college dorm, will you BOTH be ready?

Will he know enough about making friends in a new environment, time and money management, what to bring to college, doing laundry, avoiding the dreaded "freshman 15" and all those topics? Will you wish you had told him some special tip "just one more time - so it will stick"? If your older child is going into an apartment, does he know what to search for when looking at an apartment, and also tips on finding a job and social life if he is graduating?

When kids go to college, they want independence - even though they may need advice. The problem is that they don't want to ask their parents- especially at 2 AM, which is when they think of the questions!

The solution is the Portable Parent, a downloadable e-book to which parents can add their wisdom, before giving it to their child. Visit www.PortableParent.com. "Instant information - with an parent's insight - 24/7"!
