Every year, thousands of international students apply to universities in the United States. Some get in. Many don’t.

Last week, I ran a poll asking parents of teenagers one simple question: What feels most challenging when thinking about your child’s future after school?

I’m referring to the cost […]
AI is changing the world. But here’s why your child shouldn’t be worried. “Sir, just tell me one thing. Which career is safe from AI?”. A parent asked me this question recently during a counselling session. It wasn’t the first time I’d heard it, and I’m certain it won’t be the last. Almost every week, parents […]
If there is 1 belief that almost every parent I meet has – it is this. Paradoxically, it is this belief that actually leaves many parents uncertain. Recently, I ran a poll asking parents of teenagers one simple question: What do you feel is the biggest challenge when thinking about your child’s future after school? Over 60% of […]
Good marks, Low motivation: Why parents often misread the signals “She’s doing well academically, but she seems disconnected.” “He scores well, yet avoids talking about the future.” For many parents, good marks feel reassuring.
