126: College or Not Series: Helping Your Child Find Their Purpose w/ Greg and Beth Langston

The Balanced Parent Podcast - A podcast by Laura Froyen, PhD - Tuesdays

Categories:

This week's episode is the final installment of our College or Not Series. I've heard from so many of you that you've been enjoying the series, even those of you with littles, and I'm so glad to hear that! When I was navigating decisions about my future as a child and teen, college was the *only* option presented to me by my family full of teachers and while that was the right choice for me and I'm so happy I am where I ended up, looking back I wish I'd been presented with a wide range of options. The necessity of this became even clearer as a professor guiding students who were burdened by crippling debt. I want something different for my kids, something guided by their hearts rather than society's "shoulds". And so, we are going to be talking about how we can help kids develop a growth mindset and help them figure out who they are and their goals early on as they get closer to college. To help me in this conversation, I have Greg and Beth Langston. Greg is an expert in building high-performance teams across 10 different industries while Beth is an expert essay editor with a proven track record of helping students navigate the dreaded college applications essay process with tremendous success. Together they develop transformational self-discovery courses for high school students.
