As parents, we want the best for our kids. When they are trying to make decisions about school, it may be tempting to tell them exactly how to make this decision. Today, Jean Klinkhamer sits down to share his experiences with guiding his children through this journey and Marshall Tague joins to share his perspective as a former basketball coach and as a father himself.
Our hope with this episode is to encourage you as a parent. This season can be complicated and fraught with emotions and biases. We want to help you avoid some unexpected pitfalls and truly steward your children through this transition. The fact is, when our kids are 15, 16, and 17, it's no longer time for us to be telling them precisely what to do. So this podcast is designed to help you open up your paradigm of higher education and equip you to ask the right questions to become a true partner alongside your budding young adult.
Here are some of the resources that Jean mentioned in the episode:
- The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste of Time and Money
- Magi Initiative
- Kolbe Index
- Clifton Strengths
