Description
Are you confused about how to position your child for college admissions?
Do you want to know the best way to succeed in every aspect of the elite school admissions process??
Or any college?
Are you undecided about which college to apply for?
I know what you are going through and it’s not fun. I have recently been where you are now and know what works in todays Pandemic Era. I know what kept me up at night, where to get solid advice, how to do extremely well in high school and beyond.
You see, my son, my only child, has managed to gain admission to several elite schools as well as the Ivy League University he now attends in spite of significant hardships and proclamations from people in authority who predicted otherwise.
The college application process is a minefield with many pitfalls. Unless you have intelligent, well thought out direction you will hurt your child’s chances. I have thought deeply about our process starting from birth and my learnings will save you hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars with the information I have gathered and the blueprint I provide in this book.
I have delineated my Lion Dadapproach (as opposed to the Tiger Mother) which I believe will succeed much better in our culture. I have vetted thousands of websites and have annotated many of them in the reference section.
With over 300 references, many illustrations, tables, and charts as well as anecdotal stories, these clearly demonstrate a step by step path to optimize your (and your child's) chances of success.
The Pandemic has changed everything about education at every level and new information about how to navigate this changed landscape will in itself be worth your time to study this book. Do not be intimidated. Radical change can mean opportunity for those who accurately understand and plan for the new environment.
All that’s left to do is scroll back up, click (or tap) “buy now” and start reading and implementing my Lion Dad approach!

"Dr. Roark presents a healthy alternative to the Tiger Mother approach that would treat a child like a study-robot. Instead, he advocates a more supportive, organic approach to child-rearing and education - one that places emphasis on a student's native interests and strengths. This book is filled with surprising facts about testing, about admissions, about applications and more. It also provides a section on the pandemic and how parents should deal with it in the coming months...maybe longer.
If you have a child in school, if you're a student contemplating college, you'll find Lion Dad full of helpful information that will ease the transition to a top college.

No helicoptering, no coercion, no guilt. Just loving parenting. Learning ethics from observing calm, loving, caring, encouraging parents is the best preparation a child can have for entering university. This book is packed with valuable and particularly UP TO DATE information at a time where the whole educational system is in the midst of major (and indeed needed) change. I'm so glad that this experienced wisdom is put on paper. Thank you. John Hunt MD
“This book is a real tour de force and a labor of love. It’s really two books in one: a charming and inspiring memoir while also a detailed ‘how to’ book of actionable steps for preparing a child for college admission AND college success from real life, first hand experience. It gives parents a clear path they can confidently follow regardless of their budget.” Todd Scott MD
