Maybe you can help Randy out a bit? And, Oldest Son, we DID do a lot right...just not as speedily as we might have. You aren't suggesting you chose the wrong college, are you? John Glad to hear of the process you went through with your daughter, Elizabeth! Maybe you can help Randy out a bit?

And, Oldest Son, we DID do a lot right…just not as speedily as we might have. You aren’t suggesting you chose the wrong college, are you?

I really think that even at the "senior in high school" level, that students ("children") range in capabilities for working through the process. High Schools have made many inroads to helping the process with programs and the internet has helped immensely as well. However, the students level of achievement, comfort with the process, and other factors affect the "how to decide". I agree that parents shouldn't necessary use coercion, but I also think that (lively) discussion and recommendations based on mutual research is advised. Aside, I'm also wondering where Elizabeth found that college. Our search didn't yield any and we may be past the "ability to change" point. We live in Pennsylvania. Thanks!

She has been to a large state school, seen the lifestyle and habits of the professors, and seriously hopes that there is a major difference at the college she is heading to. All I can say now is, God is going to have to provide the financial end of things!!I am looking forward to her having the chance to apply her God-given gifts, make friends she hopefully will keep for a life time, and get grounded in a Christian worldview.
