[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We paid by the hour for a half dozen sesssions or so. I’m not sure it was worth it [b]but at least we felt like our kid was getting advice from someone other than us, since she didn’t want our advice[/b]. The HS counselors are basically worthless, so it can be helpful for the kid to get input from someone other than Reddit.[/quote] This is the only scenario in which I think a college counselor is worth it—if the student is really resistant to parental involvement or the parents know that the student needs so much hand-holding/oversight/nagging that it will create significant stress in the parent-child relationship. Outside of those scenarios, most parents can provide their students appropriate support, especially if they spend a little time doing some research on their own (listen to podcasts, read higher ed news, etc.).[/quote]
