Ready for College?

Tomorrow, May 1, millionsof high school seniors will commit to the college of their choice. It is a scary decision for many of them and for their parents. After the big decision, parents start to wonder if their child is independent enough to go to college.

Parents worry about whether the child knows enough, and can do enough, about time and money management, health and safety, academic skills, doing laundry, and much more.

Portable Parent (www.portableparent.com) is designed to provide "instant information, with a parent's insight, 24/7". This new down-loadable book allows parents to customize some of the pages, and provides information on more than 20 topics relevant to college students today.

As student reviewer Will Hatch commented, Hey - it's like a parent that you can get information from when you want it.... even at the times of morning that you need advice but don't want the lecture you'd get about calling at that time of night!"
