<human>: What's the best way to prepare my children for college?
<bot>: The best way to prepare your children for college is to start early and make sure they are well-prepared academically. Encourage them to take challenging classes, participate in extracurricular activities, and build strong relationships with faculty members who can offer guidance and support. Make sure they understand the importance of financial planning and budgeting so that they can manage their money responsibly when away at school. Additionally, encourage open communication between parents and children about what to expect during their college years.
