If you’ve ever wondered how to really prepare your child for the college essay years before they apply… this one’s for you.

In my podcast conversation with Carter (a college essay coach and reflective writing advocate of https://www.carterosbornetutoring.com), we dive into: – Why students struggle with the “Tell us about yourself” prompt – How AI is tempting, but not a substitute for real thinking – What parents can do now (yes, even with an 8-year-old!)

Spoiler: It’s not about cramming in more activities. It’s about making space for reflection.
