What every parent should understand about the college admissions race

In honor of May 1st's deadline for many college bound seniors to make their choice, Lynn shares really relevant advice from her perspective over the last few decades of watching her adolescent clients to college and struggle with anxiety. Parents struggle knowing how to support academic success for their kids in a healthy way, so Lynn offers advice for parents of kids of all ages.  We also answer a listener question in response to the recent episode on the toxicity of the achievement culture. If you haven’t heard it yet, I suggest you stop and listen to the first episode of Season 3 on Anxiety and good grades.  Events!
