[quote=Anonymous]Echoing PP--sometimes the best parental help is doing things like making them a snack, giving them positive encouragement, and folding their laundry. We helped DC work out a schedule for how they planned to tackle the supplemental essays and said we would review them if they wanted. Ultimately, they felt good about their essays after reviewing them in the senior seminar with the college counselors and guest admissions officers. They got into most, but not all of the schools. Would they have gotten into the schools where they were deferred if we'd been more involved in the application process? Maybe, maybe not. It definitely would have drive home the message that we think they are not capable of doing it on their own. At a time when the stakes feel so high and there is so much going on, I think one of the best roles we can play as parents to is simple have our kids' back--and I don't mean that as a research assistant etc. [/quote]
