How do you help your kids determine what they want to be when they grow up? Furthermore, how do you balance the emotional and financial sides of going through the college planning process to help them find their way?
These are questions that almost every parent and family wrestle with when it comes to raising kids. Fortunately, there are professionals to help parents along this journey, like Holly Bennetts, a high school guidance counselor and licensed counselor with multiple master's degrees.
One of the hidden secrets of any planning, be it financial or personal, is the pressure it can take off you, and planning for your kid's college is no different. Like wealth planning, the best time to have conversations regarding college planning is early and often.
Holly points out many times throughout our discussion that these conversations help us determine what makes sense for our kids academically and socially when it comes to selecting the best-fit college for them. But, critically important, according to Holly, is to break these conversations into bite-sized pieces that your kids can comprehend.
Please enjoy my conversation with Holly Bennetts.
