About this product

Product Information

College Admissions Together is more than a practical how to get into college book, though it does explain key aspects of today s college admissions process for both parents and students. It is also a guide to healthy family relationships during the college admissions process. This invaluable book looks at the often stressful process of finding the right college for your child t as an ordeal but as an opportunity to bond as a family and to give your child safe passage to adulthood as he or she determines which colleges are the best fit.In College Admissions Together, educational consultant Steve Goodman and family psychologist Andrea Leiman help parents recognize that what makes the college admissions process a potential danger zone for families is the combination of the teen s growing independence and the parent s need to help him or her make critical decisions for the future. They answer difficult questions like how to stay involved in the process while allowing your child to make more choices. They help you put the college admissions process into the context of your child s passage to adulthood and understand what he or she is feeling and facing as your child makes the decision of where to go next.Using Goodman and Leiman s advice, tips, and exercises, the college admissions process will lead to a greater appreciation of each other and mutually rewarding family relationships that last a lifetime. College Admissions Together serves families, counselors, teachers, and others as an essential resource during a stressful time in most families lives.REVIEWS New Guide Eases Families through College Admissions - Perhaps change in the family dynamic is more dramatic than sending a child out into the world. To help ease the passage of families with high school students seeking entry to higher education, Bethesda clinical psychologist Andrea Leiman co-wrote the new book College Admissions Together: It Takes a Family.

This book really addresses the emotional and family dynamic issues, Leiman says. This tells how to launch children happily. -- Gazette.net (Maryland Community Newspapers online) Getting your daughter engaged in the process is crucial, t only to selecting a college but to her success thereafter. Take time to reflect on your objectives, says Steven Roy Goodman, a Washington, D.C., educational consultant and co-author of College Admissions Together, a book on the family dynamics of this process. Are you focused on her attending a well-kwn school, or one that's the best fit? Your daughter may fear being less successful than her brother, taking 'the path of the underachiever, ' says Mr. Goodman's co-author, Andrea Leiman, a clinical psychologist. 'That is, if I don't try and I fail, I don't have to feel bad -- where if I try and then don't succeed, I will feel like a failure, ' Dr. Leiman says. Try gently to engage her in a discussion about 'what interests her. Does she have any idea of a possible career path? -- Sue Shellenbarger, Wall Street Journal Aimed at parents, but clearly for the entire family, the book presents the journey through high school and the trainsition to college as a family matter to be shared...In each chapter the embedded strategies are well interwoven with the discussion about college admission. One could almos approach the book as an extended interactional 'game' designed to promote family harmony, with college admission being merely the topic that gives the exercise meaning! -- Midwest Book Review How to bear stresses of college admissions College Admissions Together examines the college-hunting process t as an ordeal but rather as anunexpected opportunity to bond as a family. At a recent book signing at Politics & Prose, Goodman and Leiman shared nuggets of wisdom from their book to an audience comprised of anxious parents and a smattering of curio
