Dr. Chediak has watched too many college students flounder over these and other issues. Sadly, 44 percent of those who start off at a four-year college will not complete their degree in six years. At a time when college has never been more expensive, too many of our children are failing. What makes the difference? Character, a strong faith, and a willingness to delay gratification. And where is that learned? Ideally, at home, in the 4-6 years before they leave the nest.

In this book, Alex will give you everything you need to help your teens prepare to successfully navigate the college years and beyond. Alex covers all the hot-button issues: studying, grades, time management, choosing a major, friendships, dating, what to look for in a college (and how to pay for it), God, and much more. You won't want to be without this essential survival manual for getting your 7-12th graders ready for what comes next.
