Learn what may really be behind your teen’s procrastination, shutdown, or resistance, and how to help them take meaningful steps forward.

Is College Prep Starting to Feel Like a Battle?

If your teen avoids college conversations, puts off important tasks, or says they will “figure it out later,” it can be hard to know when to push, when to step back, and how to help without creating more tension.

But what looks like a lack of motivation is often something more complicated. Many teens are overwhelmed by pressure, afraid of making the wrong choice, unsure where to start, or worried about disappointing their parents. And when college prep starts to feel too big and stressful, avoidance can become their way of coping.

Join Collegewise counselor, Renee Bischoff, for a practical and reassuring conversation about what may be driving your teen’s resistance and what you can do differently to help your teen take meaningful steps forward.
