Anxiety and anxiety about assignment are transcendental issues, not new generations. Families who are familiar with positive things by clicking "Likes" and "Referrals" on social media. However, there are more worries and anxieties in the state ahead of college entrance.
This causes parents to worry about the health problems of their college-facing children and demand attention. Let's look at the role of parents in wisely promoting their child's time.
University Challenge
Universities are very different from high schools in every way. It is because there are many factors that overwhelm the high school days. For example, in order to adapt to college life, you have to have excellent test scores.
Ultimately, this pressure will increase the stress, which can also affect students' mental health.
Most students go to college between the ages of 18 and 20, and Professor Steven C. Schlossman, professor of psychiatry at Harvard University, stressed that this age is the beginning of the transition age (18-25 / 56). And at the age of 18 years old, the brain is not fully developed yet, and stress can affect your way of thinking.
Another concern is in the case of those who were bullied in the early years. According to the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association, when children are bullied or harassed by other children during elementary school, they are more likely to suffer from mental health problems when they reach ten.
To overcome all these situations wisely, it is important that parents spend enough time with their children to discuss and debate college issues together.
The Christian College Guides have released advice that parents can use to guide their children for their new academic journey. It is the process of asking, discussing, and exploring college with your child.

1. Ask why colleges are important
Parents are encouraged to ask questions as to whether college can be an experience that can change a child's life.
You should also ask questions that can help you realize the true beauty of college life and think about what you can do after graduation.
While parents ask questions and talk with their children about them, parents can speak their beliefs, opinions, and experiences naturally. However, children should not be forced to accept parental insights.
Instead, you should concentrate on asking open and wise questions that stimulate your child to reflect on his life and accept new thinking.
2. Your child chooses and chooses
It is helpful to make a list of 5 to 10 that you think is important as parents and children compare each other together.
The thing to keep in mind is that your child should be able to explain the list directly. Then explore, compare, and evaluate your location, vision, mission, facilities, educational curriculum, and other activities on the Internet so you can get more information about the schools listed.
3. Get realistic information about what you have selected
Every school has its own characteristics and gives different impressions to its children. In the meantime, it is a good idea to narrow the candidates to three or five of the list to make sure your child chooses the school they will attend.
And then you have to compare and analyze 3 or 5 selected schools again. In this process, it is helpful for parents to inform their children of the information they have experienced or obtained from friends or other media. It is good to compare and analyze the pros and cons of each school so that they can choose wisely.

4. Debate on college expenses
It is also a good idea to talk with your child in a realistic way. This is a real problem, it is a good idea to tell the truth about the costs, the financial costs of the parents, and the limitations. If you feel that your financial support is too short for other reasons, it is good to know the scholarship information so that you can prepare for it.
Accommodation and transportation costs can also be part of university expenses. This can also be a very important factor in actually entering a particular school.
As children learn more about financial difficulties through this dialogue with their parents, they are more likely to choose the school that best suits their environment.
5. Keep deadlines
If you choose a college that is deemed most appropriate for your child, you should know this university's information in advance and understand the application period.
Because the scholarship or other costly work is usually closed during this period, parents and children are encouraged to make sure everything is there.
