Your children are on the age of college applications and tell you they have everything ready, but is it really the truth?

What happens when your child tells you that he/she has everything under control and is actually completely lost?

You thought he/she had everything clear, organized and done, but you see that time passes and others are collecting information, organizing documents and your child is falling behind, What to do then? How do you support or get involved in the process without making him/her feel like you don't trust that he/she can do it alone?

These moments are the most complicated for a parent, since it is when communication plays a fundamental role.

If you do not have good communication with your children, maybe they are not going to express what they are doing and what their plans are, perhaps it will come the deadline that universities set for the admissions process, and it turns out that you don't even know what they want to study.

Even your child may not express what is happening to you because he/she thinks you are going to be upset with him/her, since he/she left everything for the last minute (as the vast majority of young people do), and he/she feels overwhelmed.

So sometimes the solution to those things is to find someone who can help make the process much easier and clearer, someone like an academic advisor.

Going hand in hand with an expert will help you to live the journey with peace in your minds, avoid all the headaches, go from here to there looking for the requirements, the essay corrections, the contact with the universities, the deadlines and everything that is necessary for your child to study what he dreams of, and even if he/she has not decided that dream yet, an advisor can help him/her discover what he/she is really passionate about, because sometimes it is necessary to have someone with you step by step from the beginning.

So as soon as possible, contact an expert and prevent your child from reaching the deadlines completely lost.
