[quote=Anonymous]This is really kid dependent. I have 2 in HS and in 8th grade, we tried to minimize too much college talk only because we live in a high pressure area where some parents were already taking them to UVA visits and that’s too much pressure too soon. My kids were different people in 8th grade to senior year, both with where they wanted to go to school and their understanding of finances. I also had a completely different understanding of the college process for the second child. I wouldn’t talk about expensive privates now. It’s too soon. I’ve found that all the talking in the world wouldn’t stop some of the resentment of one of ours. It’s more of the FOMO of this striver area we live in. When it comes time, don’t schedule visits to colleges you know you can’t afford. [/quote]
