LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

In light of the recent #collegeadmissionscandal, in this week’s video blog, I give five topics we need to discuss with our teens related to college.

Tell your teen to research colleges on his or her own.
Give your teen ownership of the application process.
Talk about what you can afford to pay.
Encourage your teen to investigate alternatives to college, including community colleges, gap year programs, and trade or technical schools.
Share your own education path, including how that helped (or didn’t help!) get you jobs.

For more on preparing kids for adulthood, listen to my podcast on the topic.
