[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting topic, I'm not here yet with my kids but cannot fathom not being involved. My parents only provided the cc# as some mentioned. They had no clue what I wrote in my apps but I took them seriously. They didn't even tell me where to apply, I was aiming low until a teacher asked and suggested I aim higher. I am thankful they put that idea in my head.[/quote]

I'm definitely a lot more involved than my parents were. Partly that's just knowledge- I was first generation. My parents' main input was that my dad had a college that was his favorite place to recruit from and insisted I visited. I ended up loving it and went there. Otherwise, I don't think they even proof read anything for me and I was definitely a self starter who enjoyed doing the research to figure out where to apply (when there were a lot fewer resources!)

Now, I have two kids with ADHD so need more exec function support and I do research for work so I'm happy to bring those skills to bear in helping build their lists.[/quote]
