Prepared Parent's Operational Manual: Sending Your Child to College by Marie

Carr (2008) Dicmar Publishing, Perfect Paperback, 220 pages $13.95

Children going to college are challenged when leaving the comfort of their homes, whereeverything is done by their parents. Suddenly they realize responsibility as they embarkupon the next step in lifes journey to college. The decisions that moms or dads makewith respect to every day life are theirs to grapple with. Where can they turn to findsimple and useful resources to resolve everyday confrontations? ThePrepared ParentsOperational Manualis a guide for the new college scholar in finding these answers. It isa well thought out set of check lists which can be used in day to day life by atransitioning generation. Also, it can be a great help to those who are not attendingcollege, but are going to live out on their own.

Starting college is a time in life when recent graduates move forward to a first time out inthe world living alone or with others. It is when a little extra help is needed. Practicaladvice is given for both the parent and child (or now young adult) by providing simpleideas. Sending a care package of snacks and goodies by the parent or being alert to

identity theft by the young person are only a couple of extra bits of advice which arediscussed. How to pack a suitcase, what emergency tools should be carried in the car, orlocating the nearest hospital are some others. These may be a little mundane to a parentwho is experienced in the world, but the student might be a little overwhelmed whenfaced with having to do these tasks alone.

This book was written by Marie Pinak Carr with the assistance of her daughtersKatharine, Ann and Elizabeth who experienced four colleges. They used similar lists toguide them in their sojourns and they developed this Manual based upon experiences thatworked for them.

A great graduation gift for both parents and children as they allgo off to college! And, apresent for those newly emancipated, who are starting out in the brave new world!
