Offer her your emotional support. That is more important than anything when you are in college.

let her make her own mistakes and learn from them... sometimes we have to fall on our faces to see what we need to do...

you can lead a horse to water... etc

she has to want it

self discipline is the only kind that matters


let her fail a class and have to work on her own to pay the tuition... see how much fun waitressing is (not)


you can't want it for her... she has to want it herself.

they have on capus tutor options, and these are things she has to find out.

if she is old enough to take a college class and drive a car, she is old enough to do well on her own, in fact the more help you give her, the more you hurt her.


self sufficiency, it's the only way.


my dad is very wealthy and a n\major in the air force, if i wanted something i had to work for it.

he never paid for one class.

you can help by telling her you love her and how you want her to succeed, and tell her that you love her enough to let her make her own mistakes and to learn from them.

when parents bail kids out, kids become big slackers.

dont be a crutch.

I gather from your question that she is already in college. If this is the case, the best you can do is hope that she's responsible enough to be out on her own.

If college is a long time in the future, take an interest in her education but don't do the work for her. Support her, but don't be a "helicopter parent". She needs to learn to stand on her own two feet. And, don't impose your wishes on her post-high school education. Be realistic. Some kids don't really need to attend a 4-yr college to become productive citizens. Sometimes trade school training is more appropriate.

Enroll her in SAT and SAT II prep classes (many of these classes are on Saturdays or after school during the week).

Write the schools you're most interested in (no matter how young she is--they were impressed when I was 14 and wrote in and the kept in contact) and ask them for literature about the school and their programs.

Make sure she takes advantage of all extra credit, teachers' office hours and tutoring sessions.

Make sure that she participates in extra circular activities and volunteer programs.

Check her homework and grades, have a great relationship with her teachers, encourage her daily, and make sure she's having fun or wants to get into a good college.

Know her friends and make sure that they have similar goals.

I guess you can draw a schedule for work, reading and social time.
Help her increase attention with meditation.
Give her your quality time so she she can confide in her.
