[quote=baltimoreguy]A book I would recommend to people already stressing about their elementary school child's college choice is "How to be a High School Superstar" by Cal Newport. Rather than prep your kid by having him/her take the same courses and superficially participate in all the service activities as everyone else, it talks about how to truly set them apart - and in the process help them live a life that is actually interesting and rewarding. I'd say summer before 8th grade is a good time to read it and think about how to apply its ideas. I didn't read it until last year, but my oldest child had already kind of lucked into an approach similar to the one the book outlines.[/quote]
