<p>I’ll plead “guilty” to two charges:</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you search college websites for your child? YES or NO</li>
<li>Do you review the publications colleges send to your child? YES or NO</li>
</ol>
<p>I think my wife is totally innocent. Both of us have spent considerable time talking to our daughter about her aspirations, interests, college options, job prospects, etc. but the initiative has generally been on the daughter’s part. I can’t say that the level of parental involvement will be the same for daughter #2 since she is a very different person, but I don’t think my wife and I by nature are the helicoptering sort. (don’t know if the kids would agree)</p>
