Ready to say "good-bye" to your new college freshman?

The Portable Parent, a unique e-book, is your answer. Written by a parent of a college student who is also an adjunct college professor, this book contains more than 20 short chapters of advice on topics ranging from getting scholarships and managing money to making friends the first few days and lengthening term papers. Parents who use Windows computers can add their own words of wisdom to selected chapters! The best part is that after purchase and adding your helpful advice, you can download it to your child's computer, and it won't add an ounce to all that you will be moving into his dorm room!

Taking a freshman to college...

Each fall, as parents help new college freshmen pack and move into a college dorm, the question on their minds is, "Is he ready?" Thanks to a unique, down-loadable book, Portable Parent, www.portableparent.com, parents can now send their students with information they need before the students think to ask. Parents can even insert their own wisdom in it, to make sure certain ideas are covered. "Instant information, with a parent's insight, 24/7".

Topics such as what to bring to college, time and money management, tips on doing laundry and making friends (a big concern of new students), how to lengthen or shorten a term paper, finding private scholarships, student travel sites, getting textbooks less expensively, and much more are included. Best of all, the book will not add an ounce to the mounds of luggage to be lugged to your student's room!

A student reviewer for Portable Parent 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!"

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"!
