[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it OP.

My kid has matured A LOT in the past 3-6 months. He is 100% more engaged with the idea of going to college now than he was 6 months ago.  This was despite growing up in an house where college was the expectation, taking him on tours, etc (all the things).  It just took him some time to be able to fully personalize the process.

We're in a somewhat different place than you are because he got into an ED school. So he's going and it's a great school.  However, of course now he's like "huh, maybe school x or school y would be a better school for me?"[/quote]

And this is where you help your kid see that "yes the grass might appear greener over there, but you had a top choice, you applied and managed to get in ED.  Now you can sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of senior year". Just look at your friends who didnt' get in ED (likely many of them) and now they have to wait and wonder where they Will be going.  You are all set

It is up to us as parents to help manage the emotions and not allow them to get worked up over the "what ifs".  Because in reality, the ED accepted kids DO have it easier.  They got into their top choice and are done!
