This is a book that you need to buy. If you have children, begin reading College Success Guaranteed 2.0 before your student is college bound. There are tips and stories in this book that can provide helpful insight even before it's time to fill out college applications. * About Families * Gauld presents five easy rules to guide parents through the college transition process, presented with anecdotes that help channel a parent's emotional energy into a constructive and healthy direction. As a college consultant, I will ensure that every client gets a copy...required reading for all parents launching their college bound students. -- Bobbi Crocker, educational consultant, Crocker College Consulting, Westport, Connecticut Through light-hearted yet insightful personal stories and anecdotes, Malcolm Gauld emphasizes the importance of self-reliance as our children transition into young adulthood. Our roles as parents shift dramatically when our sons and daughters head off to college. Gauld's sage advice for us to lovingly "step aside" will allow our teens to take giant steps forward. Malcolm knows kids and he knows parents, and he practices what he preaches: Be a curious, life-long learner (and live that example well before the chicks fly the coop). This is a must-read for today's parent whose child is embarking on the college experience. -- Cammie Bertram, certified educational planner, founder and president, THE BERTRAM GROUP College Success Guaranteed 2.0 is a refreshing and welcome addition to the long list of college guide books. Virtually every parent will relate to at least one of the stories Gauld tells in each chapter. The advice he shares is exactly what today's parents need to help their children successfully negotiate the travails of college life in the twenty-first century. -- Harold M. Wingood, associate vice president, enrollment management, Heritage University, WA Today American students and their parents are often accused of using college as a means to delay adult responsibility. After more than 20 years teaching college English, I have indeed seen too many helicopter parents and their unhappy children. These are the parents who factor in on too many decisions that ought to be left up to the student: they tell their children which courses to take; they micro-manage their course work; they tell them which major to choose, even which career to choose. When these same students graduate, their parents wonder why this brilliant young adult is floundering and unhappy. In fact, these over-managed students have failed to acquire the critical thinking skills necessary to their future success. College is not the time to delay developing that all-important real world skill. In College Success Guaranteed 2.0, a thoughtfully instructive new book, Malcolm Gauld offers this advice - 'step aside' - and so much more. When we step aside, Gauld explains, college students can learn to allow 'obstacles to become opportunities.' Students must learn to TCB: Take care of business. Taking care of business, as he once told a student, is 'doing what you need to do when you need to do it.' Delaying gratification 'when no adult authority figure is on the scene to remind (or make) you do whatever it is that you need to do.' Malcolm Gauld's College Success Guaranteed 2.0 is 'life preparation' at its best. After you have dropped your son or daughter off for that big four-year adventure, this is the book you'll want by your bedside. -- Barbara Stuart, lecturer, Department of English, Yale University
