Slow down!

Focus more attention on learning than grades: You care about your student's grades. But emphasizing them too much can actually turn your teen off to learning. Instead, ask him what he finds interesting about his subjects. What is boring? What is easy? What is challenging? Ask about ideas he has for papers or creative projects. What would he like to read just for fun? Show your teen you care about thinking and learning, and not just grades. http://niswc.com/36dFC320271

Plan screen-free ways to buy yourself some time: Experts agree that it's important to monitor and limit your child's recreational screen time. One way is to think about the times you rely on TV or screen devices as babysitters for your child, and to come up with alternatives. For example, if you turn on a screen to occupy your child while you make dinner, try doing some advance meal preparation. Or invite her into the kitchen to help you cook instead. http://niswc.com/16dFC320271

Antes del distanciamiento social, cada persona con #COVID19 transmitió el virus a 2.5 personas.A ese ritmo, muchas personas se contagiarían, y muchas personas morirían.Pero podemos retrasar la propagación.Por eso todos quedemonos en casa y paremos el Coronavirus.#ApartTogether

Before social distancing, each person with #COVID19 spread the virus to 2.5 more people. At that pace, most would get it, and many more people would die. But we can slow the spread. That’s why we all #StayHome. #ApartTogether we slow coronavirus.

Thank you again to the RISD community for your votes and helping Royal be named the Fall 2019 Cool Schools winner!

Remove hurtful words from your family's vocabulary: Many parents have rules against swearing, but swear words aren't the only words that hurt. Take your rules a step further and don't allow family members to use insulting words, such as "dumb," "stupid" and "idiot," about themselves or anyone else. Your child will have to get creative to express his frustration, and he may even enlarge his vocabulary! http://niswc.com/16dEC320271

Let your teen 'own' self-made problems: Suppose your teen announces at 9:00 PM that she forgot she has a science project due the next day. Before you rush to help her, ask her, "Who owns this problem?" Let your teen find her own solution to the problem she created. (Don't let her do anything dangerous, of course.) Remind her that she's figured out tough problems before. The low grade she'll probably earn may help her learn to start earlier next time. http://niswc.com/36dEC320271

You can spread #COVID19 without knowing you have it. Whether you have symptoms or not, #StayHome. If you have to go out, wear a mask/bandana/scarf, regularly wash your hands, and stay 6 feet apart. We must stay #ApartTogether to slow coronavirus. https://tea.texas.gov/staywell

Puede propagar #COVID19 sin saber que lo tiene.Ya sea que tenga síntomas o no, quedate en casa.Si tiene que salir, use una bandana/bufanda, lávese las manos regularmente y manténgase a 6 pies de distancia.Debemos permanecer separados #ApartTogether.tea.texas.gov/mantentebientejas

Happy National Librarian Day! 📚 ❤️ @wegopublic

Help your teen start preparing for exams: Urge your teen to use this time to start preparing for year-end exams. While your teen must do the studying, you can help him do his best. Encourage him to pull together old tests and start reviewing them. Help him set study goals: 20 minutes a day for a week is better than two hours in one night. Help your teen find a distraction-free study area, and make sure he sticks to a regular bedtime that lets him get enough sleep. http://niswc.com/36dDC320271

Can your child detect the mystery word? The next time you and your child are stuck waiting, play a game of Word Detective. Choose a written word you can see (don't say it out loud), and give your child a clue about it, like "Things you wear on your feet." After she finds the word "shoes," it's her turn to choose a word and give you a clue. You'll have fun and your child will get extra practice recognizing words and phrases. http://niswc.com/16dDC320271
