There really isn’t such a thing. Every phase of life is preparation for the next phase.

But is it ever too early to start the specific activities that build your child’s college resume?

Again, the answer is “no,” but the caveat here is that there are a lot of things you can do that will build your child’s college resume that turn out being completely unrelated to their specific college application. That means that it’s possible to waste a lot of time and create a lot of unnecessary stress—for you and for your child.

How do you know what activities will help build your child’s college resume? There are a lot of factors that go into this, but the first question to ask is this: “What is my child’s college goal?” If you know the answer to that, then the choices related to building your college resume are much simpler.

What if you don’t know yet what your child’s college goal is? That’s okay. There are a lot of things you can do that will help build your child’s resume for a wide range of college goals.

Here’s your first step: Start asking the question about your child’s college goal, and take notes. Keep asking follow-up questions, and you’ll begin to have a clearer and clearer picture as you ask and answer.
