Is your kid ready for post-secondary?

I love to talk about this topic because it is one that keeps parents and teens up at night.

Parents often approach me saying “my kid isn’t mature enough”, “they aren’t going to be ready” or “they just need some more time”.  Students say similar things – saying they need more time, they aren’t ready, or they don’t know what they want to do. I hear these concerns on a regular basis and they all boil down to one common theme – not feeling ready.

This episode explores "readiness" and which factors indicate a gap year, and which can be addressed in other ways.
