College is Not Mandatory: A Parent's Guide to Navigating the Options Available to Our Kids After High School, Paperback

Discover Tools for Talking to Your Teen About Their Future (No Yelling Required!)

I know parents like you want to help your teen feel confident about their plans after high school but you're not sure how to help your teen determine a direction that reflects their values, passions, and interests.

Your teen dodges your questions about their future plans. You then resort to lectures and arguments, which fuels your student's anxiety over making a decision and then you're both fed up and exhausted by the entire process.

This should be an exciting time of exploring possibilities for the future. That's exactly why I wrote College is Not Mandatory, A Parent's Guide To Navigating The Options Available To Our Kids After High School.
