Grow Kids

We're failing our kids when it comes to higher education. We do a good job preparing them academically for college, but we fall short at giving them guidance in their choice of major and career. As a result, 75% of college students end up changing their major, and half don't finish in 6 years. This leads to confusion, unhappiness, and thousands of dollars of unnecessary debt.

Grow Kids is a parent's guide to preparing your child for choosing a major they'll stick with. Using this book, you'll help them understand their abilities, identify their interests, and take full responsibility for their own higher education so they can enjoy a fulfilling career.

Drawing on current research, national statistics, and the author's experience as an education consultant, Grow Kids is full of practical advice that will help you guide your kids in the right direction. Covering ages 8 through 18, and with advice for college students feeling lost, Grow Kids is suitable for any parent, guardian, or family member concerned about their child's higher education and career.
