[quote=Anonymous]Interviews are important. Definitely a good idea to prepare your child and even approach it like you would a job interview -- brainstorm what likely questions will be, type them up, then type up bullets for response suggestions (parents would do this for their child, at least lower/middle schoolers). For example, you don't want to get the #1 or #2 most likely question to go to your child -- tell me about you favorite book [or a book you've been reading recently] -- and have your child to be stumped and not have any answer. Same with ... what's your favorite class and why, what do you like to do on weekends and after school for fun, what sports do you enjoy, do you enjoy any musical instruments, tell me about a good friend of yours, etc. Some, perhaps many, will say this is ridiculous to do for a child, but, IMO I think it's best to "prep your witness" than to let him or her wing it (and perhaps not answer as well as could have).[/quote]
