It’s here – that mid-October moment when the casual stride of the new academic year turns into a sprint.
Parents, if you’re looking at your high school student’s burgeoning workload and upcoming deadlines with a growing sense of dread…
Stop.
Breathe.
You’re not alone, and even better, there’s still time to transform that panic into a plan.
Every year, October brings a reality check.
The transition phase is over. Midterms are looming, and for many families, the college application deadlines are no longer a distant concern. So, if you’re starting to think, “We should have started earlier,” know that this moment of realization is a shared experience.
That being said, it’s time to pivot from reactive scramble to strategic action.
Whether it’s the urgent need for subject-specific academic support or a structured approach to managing looming college application deadlines, immediate, targeted actions can still yield impressive results.
Here’s how to pivot:
- Assess the Situation: Take an honest look at where your student is and what they need.
- Build Support Networks: Whether it’s tutoring in specific subjects or assistance with managing the workload, professional support can make a pivotal difference.
- Focus on Deadlines: Prioritize the most urgent tasks and create a roadmap for tackling each systematically.
It’s not too late.
