Question by LJ: Best book to prepare your ?not going to college? child to ?college bound??
I have a 14 & 15 year old and I know it?s late but I?d like to dedicate their last years of school preparing them for college. Is there a phase by phase book or online website I could refer to? I just need to know what they should know at each grade level, how to strengthen their weak areas, how to motivate so they will want to excel, how to find out what they?re insterested in (career tests?), activities to keep their brain sharp, exercises/tests I can use to teach them?basically how to raise smart kids. Anything that could give me step by step advice that I could plan out each day/week would be great. Patricularly, my son is not that interested in college but I think with a little guidance, he would change his mind. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for any and all advice!

Nothing, absolutely nothing, is more important nor a bigger determinant to academic success than attitude. Not skills. Not knowledge. Not how much memory is in the kid?s laptop, nothing. Anything you can do to inspire or encourage in your children an authentic interest in knowing things (a less grand way of saying ?a love of learning?) will be pure gold. Beyond that, anything you can do to encourage your child to a) read and b) write (and write properly) will, once again, be far, far more helpful than special programs, technology etc.
Good luck.
