Applying to college can be a stressful experience for teens, says Hillside Treatment Center. Made worse by other sources of stress — such as homework and extracurricular activities — anxiety during this time is common.

To ease college application anxiety, Hillside Treatment Center encourages parents to:

• Create realistic expectations.
• Avoid comparing your child to others.
• Offer support and pay attention to their feelings.
• Ensure your child eats well and gets enough sleep.
• Focus on finding the right college, not necessarily the best college.
• Enjoy quality time with your child, away from college concerns.
