My newest book title: Grounded Graduate-Campus Survival Guide for Parents and Students is now ready for the print press.
This is not just another book. It's insurance for your child's future. When your child was in Class 8, you prepared them for KCPE. You bought past papers. You paid for tuition.
When your child was in Form 4, you prepared them for KCSE. You bought set books. You took them to boarding.
When they got an admission letter to campus, you celebrated. You bought a mattress, a bucket, a suitcase. You paid fees. You took them to campus. And perhaps you thought your work was done. Your work was just beginning. Because campus is not like high school.
In high school, your child lived in a controlled environment: Waking time was controlled by a bell. Reading time was controlled by prep. Money was controlled by you — you gave small pocket money. Relationships were controlled — boys in one school, girls in another, or strictly supervised. Faith was controlled — mandatory prayers, mandatory church. Friends were controlled — same class, same dorm.
In campus, all control disappears overnight. No bell. No prep. No teacher checking. No parent watching. A 19-year-old gets freedom, money — HELB, a private room or bedsitter, a smartphone with unlimited internet, and 10,000 other 19-year-olds with the same freedom.
This is why many parents get shocked. The child who was obedient in high school becomes disobedient in campus. The child who was a CU leader becomes someone who doesn't go to church. The child who was bright becomes someone whose grades are wanting. Not because the child became bad. But because the child was never prepared for freedom.
What This Book Is About:
This book is about how to survive and thrive in the four years that determine the next forty years. I have divided it into 12 chapters, each addressing a snare that I have seen destroy students: Freedom Without Walls, Money Without Experience, Friends Who Make or Break You, Love and Relationships in Hostels, When Faith Dies in Campus, The Silent Killers, The AI & TikTok Trap.
Each chapter has two real stories from Kenyan campuses, One mistake parents and students make, One principle to remember and Action steps for parents and for students.
Who This Book Is For:
I wrote this book for three groups:
1. Parents whose children are in Form 3, or 4, or waiting to join campus. Read it now, before they report. Have the conversations in this book now.
2. Parents whose children are already in campus- first, second, third year. It is not too late. You can still intervene.
3. Students joining campus or already in campus.
