Introduction
As a parent (including parental-like figures), we know that you want the best for your young adult child as he or she begins transitioning into early adulthood and to a place where he or she will begin to become fully independent. The role as a parent does not end when this transition begins. Your young adult still needs your direction and support especially as it relates to any academic and professional decisions that need to be made. Your years of experience, successes, and failures can help guide your young adult to independency, but additional assistance is always needed. The professional and educational landscape that existed when you, the parent, were in young adulthood has changed in several significant ways. The professional and educational landscape of the future will be significantly different from what it is today. This is where Older Cousin Advising comes into play!
Older Cousin Advising is an advising firm that works with parents with young adult children transitioning into early adulthood. We strengthen the level of guidance, direction and support parents give to their young adult by increasing the pool of knowledge that parents can draw upon. With our comprehensive knowledge regarding the academic and professional landscapes of today and the future, we can identify key factors and variables that need to be considered when decisions, advice giving, and planning regarding your young adult’s future are being made. Our goal is not to tell parents and young adults what to do, but rather, empower both group's ability to makes well informed decisions.
We consider anyone that falls under the categories and subcategories below as young adults:
High School Juniors/Seniors & Recent High School Grads
