Young Adult Development Services
Real-World Readiness for College-Bound Teens
You’ve done the college tours and the financial aid forms—now let’s make sure your kid knows how to budget for groceries, explore careers, and keep their mind, body, and spirit in good shape. This is where “adulting” prep gets real (but still fun).
This program is comprised of a series of counseling sessions and course materials that convey valuable life preparation information to their children. The teaching materials are based on my experience teaching my own daughters in a program I developed called Daddy Life School.
Each plan is customized based on student needs and existing knowledge, and includes some combination of the following:
-
Initial consulting session to determine needs and goals
-
Comprehensive tool kit, including:
-
Class preparation plan
-
Presentations and exercises
-
Recommended multi-media resources
-
One page class summaries
-
-
Customized programs & materials to address student-specific context
-
Zoom-based classes - either with or without parent participation (*)
-
Periodic meetings to prepare for and debrief from selected classes
(*) It presumed that I would act as the “lecturer” and/or facilitator, but I highly encourage parents to participate and even take on the primary teaching role.
Life Counseling Services are generally scheduled shortly after college acceptance senior year, though juniors may also participate during their spring semester. They can be quoted and contracted for separately or as part of a combined package with College Plans.
This program is still in development and is scheduled to launch in January 2026. Also, group sessions will be available later in the year.
