One of the most common things parents say to me is: We want to make the right decision, but it’s very hard to see clearly when it’s your own child.
That’s exactly where my parent advisory sessions come in.
Last night, after a one‑on‑one session with a family navigating some complex educational decisions, I received a note from them that beautifully captures the value of this work (names and details omitted for privacy):
“Thank you for your candid feedback. Your advice as an experienced counselor and parent was constructive and relevant. It gave us clarity and direction as we plan our next steps.”
That kind of response is why I love this work—and why these sessions are so impactful.
