When Your Teen Is Too Busy for Future Planning
What You Need to Know
Today’s teens are busy, and so are their parents. Between school, extracurriculars, jobs, and family commitments, future planning often gets pushed aside, not because it does not matter, but because no one knows how to fit it in.
In this practical parent session, you will learn how to help your teen build direction in small, realistic ways that work within a full schedule. You will walk away with simple strategies to notice clues, ask better questions, and create next steps without turning this into one more overwhelming thing.
Because your teen does not need a perfect plan right now. They just need a way to start.
In this free session, you will learn how to:
✅ Help your teen build direction in ways that fit into a full schedule instead of waiting for life to slow down
✅ Recognize the clues already showing up in your teen’s everyday life so future planning feels more natural and less overwhelming
✅ Use small, realistic steps to create momentum without adding pressure for you or your teen

Hi, I’m Laurie Genevish, founder of My Ideal College and creator of Your Teen’s Next Chapter.
For over 10 years, I’ve helped hundreds of families navigate the transition from high school to what comes next.
As a mom, I understand the anxiety parents feel when their teen is nearing graduation without a clear plan. I also know how overwhelming it can feel to want to help, but not know where to begin.
That’s why I created two clear paths of support:
• Your Teen’s Next Chapter
• Senior Success Accelerator
No matter where your teen is starting, the right guidance can change everything. And starting now always makes a difference.
What Parents Are Saying:
"After Laurie helped my first teen narrow down career options and build confidence about college, the experience was so impactful that I had her work with my second child, too. Both gained clarity about their strengths, direction for their future, and confidence in taking the next step. Laurie brought calm, wisdom, and genuine care to our entire family."
— Sandy, parent
"We finally got clarity for our son, who was a junior in high school, and he's now in a trade program that's the perfect fit—no college debt, just real work experience."
— Mark D.
"I learned so much from this course—not just about who I am and what careers fit me best, but also how to prepare for the real world. It taught me how to network, build connections, and confidently take those first steps into the workforce. I can't recommend it enough!"
— Eric, student

Got Questions? Here's the Real Deal:
We're already in senior year—is it too late for us?
Not at all! I actually created a 4-week accelerator program specifically for seniors in this situation. You'll hear about both options in the session, and we can talk about what makes sense for YOUR teen's timeline. Many families find that even with less time, focused exploration still makes a huge difference.
My teen has NO idea what they want—will this even help?
YES. That's actually the most common situation I see. This session isn't about forcing your teen to pick a career. It's about showing them (and you) the PROCESS for exploring. Most teens think they're supposed to just "know," and when they don't, they shut down. I'll show you how to help them explore without that pressure.
What if college isn’t the plan?
That’s fine too. This isn’t just about college—it’s about finding the right fit, whether that’s a trade, gap year, or something unique. And saving money along the way, no matter the path.
Is junior year too early to be thinking about careers?
This is the biggest misconception parents have. Junior year isn't too early—it's actually THE window. By senior year, your teen will be making decisions under massive pressure with no time to explore. The families who start in junior year end up with confident, clear teens. The families who wait end up scrambling. I'll show you exactly why in the session.
Is this going to be a sales pitch for your program?
Nope. You'll get real, actionable information you can use immediately, whether you work with me or not. You will learn about my programs, and I will offer a special opportunity for attendees, but there's zero pressure. I promise you will leave with value either way.
