Everyone Has a Story: Giving digitally raised children much-needed face-to-face time
By MICHELLE BRUNETTI POST
Press of Atlantic City Staff Writer
Students today need more help developing face-to-face social skills than previous generations did, said Stone Harbor’s Hilary Brennan, because so much of their communication is via text and email.
Never Under-Estimate the Power of Etiquette in the Application Process
Winning the admissions game is easier when students understand, know and use proper etiquette during each step of the application process. While the “admissions machine” has been streamlined with the common application, online inquiries and virtual tours – outstanding etiquette can be your secret weapon to influence an acceptance and achieve admission to your dream school.
Outclass The Competition
The fall season is marked by a flurry of admissions activities as schools throughout the country rollout the red carpet and welcome perspective families for open houses, visitation days, receptions and tours. Regardless of your academic goals- boarding, charter, private, or religious - kindergarten thru college, the stakes and emotions run high and the tension can be cut with a knife in admissions reception areas. For years parents have obsessed about grades, standardized test scores, and scholarships.

RSVPs – Responding in Style
Inevitably the holiday season brings invitations for a variety of parties – corporate, family, or friends. Respond to each and every invitation as though it’s an invitation to the upcoming royal wedding! Someone thought you were special and your company is so enjoyable that they felt your presence would make the occasion special. Don’t under estimate the time, preparation and expense of an event and fail to respond – you can create confusion, hurt feelings and find yourself excluded from future invites by failing to take the time to respond.
