High School to College – Is Your Child Ready?

Is your child college ready?  Have you thought about what skills he/she will need to live independently of your support?  Do you know what are the typical expectations to be a college student - much different from when you attended college, especially since covid.  Time is less structured, more time to be alone or be isolated, academic demands are higher, student must independently manage his/her learning, schedule and well-being. To be successful a student must have efficient Executive Function Skills. 

Many students are arriving to college unprepared in these arenas - and STRUGGLE to get their footing. We are not seeing students failing out because they are "partying too much", we are seeing students withdrawing because they are "paralyzed to do"- they shut down from being overwhelmed, without knowing how to get started to problem-solve. 

Skills students will need to acquire in high school to be successful in college are (but not limited to):

• Planning and Organization

• Time Management

• Working Memory- methods of learning and NOT memorizing

• Inhibitory Control

• Cognitive Flexibility

• Self- Monitoring & Growth Mindset

• Ability to Persist  & problem-solve when things get hard

Research shows us that students with well-developed/ well intact EF Skills are:

• Over 70% more likely to maintain a GPA above 3.0

• 50% more likely to graduate on time

• Better predictors of  college retention than SAT/ACT score or even high school GPA.

• More involved in college community

• More content and socially engaged

• Career ready
