[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you do it if it is easier for your family or have your DC do it if they are interested. Scheduling college visits doesn’t make a teen any more engaged, mature or independent. Don’t listen to the PPs that feel they are superior parents because their DCs are scheduling their own college visits. That is ridiculous. [/quote]

I completely disagree. There are so many parent posts on here about difficult and complex this process is and how they have to do certain things for their kids or they won’t get done. There are so many parent posts on here about how their otherwise brilliant kids haven’t done anything yet because they’re paralyzed with anxiety. This one is a such an easy win and literally one of the very first steps in the whole process. Stop doing every little thing for them and then complaining about how they do nothing![/quote]

College visits involve other people's schedules. Sure, they can pick out colleges to visit, but allowing a 17-year-old to dictate when and where a family travels is insane.[/quote]
