Denise’s Thoughts
Wow! Where was this book when I went to college? Seriously, folks – this book is a must for your soon-to-be or already-there college student. The book’s author, Harlan Cohen, offers sound advice by identifying a problem – often half the dilemma is figuring out what’s wrong – and presents tips, real life stories and an analysis without preaching. This is something we parents have a very hard time doing for our teens – whether that is real or perceived is a different article. If your teen will be or is a college student, make sure he/she is armed with this book.
