In this episode, we discuss the college essay, one of the most daunting parts of the application process for students and parents alike. We discuss how to help your teen brainstorm authentic topics, find their unique voice, and craft a compelling story that stands out to admissions officers. Learn where parents can be helpful (proofreading, encouragement) and where you need to step back (writing it for them!). We'll cover common essay pitfalls, how to give constructive feedback without taking over, and tips for managing the stress that often comes with this high-stakes writing assignment. By the end, you'll know how to support your student in creating an essay that's genuinely theirs. S1, E5
