e-Tips From The Family Center
Help your teen brainstorm reasons to thank a teacher.
Research links feeling grateful with increased happiness and interest in school. During this Teacher Appreciation Week, ask your student to think about teachers who have made a difference. How have they helped? How have they influenced your teen's thoughts and ideas? Together, think of ways your teen can show gratitude to these special teachers.
For more information go HERE:
Common teen excuses are not reasons to skip school.
Some teens are full of excuses about why they should be allowed to miss school. Many excuses are indications that your teen needs to make some changes. If your teen claims to need more sleep or more time to work on a project, suggest going to bed earlier or getting more organized. Constantly trying to stay home, however, may be a sign of a larger issue you might want to discuss with your teen's counselor.
