[.ca] College Admissions Together: It Takes a Family (ISBN 1933102543)

College Admissions Together:
Steven Roy Goodman, leading college admissions advisor, and family psychologist Andrea Leiman, have written a one-of-a-kind book on getting into university. College Admissions Together: It Takes a Family is a guide for parents whose children are leaving home for school. It provides excellent practical advice on how to improve family communication during this time. Tips include how to discuss financing, academic performance, and meeting application deadlines. The book uses case studies and an easy, conversational style to get its message across. Most important, and the most unique thing about College Admissions Together, is that the book anticipates typical emotions and behaviours of children and parents before and after children leave home. The book was a pleasure to read. I was very impressed by its unique take on the college admissions process. I loved the emphasis on family dynamics and improving family communication.
