[quote=Anonymous]Admitting that I haven’t read the whole thread, I’m going to say that like with most things in life, this is a matter of balance. I think it’s important to start thinking about your kid’s narrative early — way before they can or should have any inkling what that means. But at the same time, you have to be flexible to accommodate your DC’s evolving interests, and help them flex their college narrative in the most authentic direction possible. It’s not easy — if you start too late, you haven’t laid the groundwork; if you force it too hard, you do both your child and the university/their application a disservice.

Ultimately, you know your child better than pretty much anyone, so help them along before they know the need help, then work with them as they grow into themselves and their own interests. I feel like that’s what we did and it was tremendously successful for our son. And we keep doing it now, even as he navigates through college…though with a lighter touch. [/quote]
