The calls from many freshmen to their parents go something like this,"Mom/Dad, how do I...
(get help in my math class, lengthen a term paper, get along with my obnoxious room-mate, give a good excuse for not doing drugs or drinking, get a cheaper ticket home, find private scholarships, check out a first apartment,etc)?" The Portable Parent (www.portableparent.com) has answers...and you can add your own to this pre-written book which provides "instant information, with a parent's insight, 24/7"!

What comes after college applications?
Many high school seniors and their parents are rejoicing now that their college applications are done. Then the parents start to think about what skills and knowledge their children still need to learn to be successful in college, such as time and money management, tips on doing laundry and making friends, even on how to lengthen a paper - but the students don't want to listen now. Portable Parent (www.portableparent.com) is a wonderful solution to this problem.
Portable Parent is a unique online e-book. Parents download it, add their own insights to selected chapters, and upload it on their children's computers. When the students need the information - even at 1 AM, it's waiting for them, and they keep their treasured independence! Parents, meanwhile, can relax knowing the information is waiting for their children.

Parent of a high school senior?
Soon the college and scholarship applications will be done, and then comes the thought: does my child know enough about non-academics to do well in college? For example, does he know about time management, money management issues such as credit cards and phishing, finding cheap travel fares, doing laundry and more? While some high school seniors will listen to this advice, most won't.
One way to get around seniors' "I know it all attitude" is to write the information down for them to read when they are ready, and to put it on a computer so it doesn't weigh anything when it's time to go to college. Then, at 3 AM if they need to know something, the information is waiting! But who wants to write a book? Fortunately, it's already done and waiting on the web, at www.portableparent.com. There are even sections where parents with Windows on their computers can add their own tidbits of widom. "Instant information, with a parent's insight, available 24/7!"
