Are you sending your child off to college or his/her first apartment?
It's scary, isn't it?
You know he wants his independence, but you also know there's a lot he doesn't understand yet. If he won't ask you for the parental advice he needs, how's he going to get it?
The Portable Parent is now here!
You as his/her parent add your wisdom * to a few pages in a downloadable book of valuable advice, and give it to him to take with him. (You'll be glad it's downloadable when you move him into his new place!)
"Having a 17 year old who does not welcome Mom or Dad's advice, this book is a wonderful personal resource that our child can refer to without having to admit to Mom and Dad that he doesn't have all the answers! "Portable Parent" is easy to personalize * to your own child's needs and gives parents a sense of reassurance that they have helped prepare their children for the real world."

- and MORE if you choose
The students say:
"Why didn't my mom think to package herself in a book and send along with me?"

"First of all, I loved the part about car insurance. I don't have a car yet, but when I will have one, I'll have no clue how to insure it etc. I think that is the one thing I wish my parents would have taught me: How to sort out financial deals like mortgage, rent, gas and electricity, insurance, etc. Also I wish my mom would have taught me how to make her traditional herring salad, along with other family recipes."
