To support learning, support your teen
Do you know what your teen needs to succeed in school and life? One expert suggests that it comes down to self-respect, goals, communication skills, social skills, stress management, exercise and family support. Family support may be the most important. Your love and acceptance gives your teen a foundation for developing all the other elements of success.

Battle obesity with a screen time diet
Childhood obesity is a major health issue, and TV, computers and other electronic devices are a part of the problem. In one study of overweight kids, researchers found that kids who were encouraged to spend less time with screens lost weight. Set limits on recreational screen time, and encourage your child to engage in lots of active, screen-free activities.

For better recall, share long-term learning strategies
When your teen has really learned something, she can recall it on demand. The key to good recall is to move a piece of information from short-term memory to long-term memory. Several strategies can help. Encourage your teen to draw diagrams of the information she wants to remember. She can also write a song about it or create a digital file of key facts. Whenever possible, help her apply the material to real life.

Appreciate what we've accomplished together
This spring has been like no other. Families, teachers and schools have worked tirelessly to meet the challenges of educating children during school closures. May 4-8 is National PTA Teacher Appreciation Week. Take a moment to appreciate those who are making learning possible, starting with yourself. Send a thank-you note to a helpful teacher. When teachers and families are a supportive team, students thrive.

Offer your teen a sticky reading strategy
Most teens don't read a long assignment in one sitting. But when they pause for a break, they may forget what they've just learned. Before your teen takes a break from reading, have him jot down a few words on a sticky note about what he just read and place it where he stopped reading. When he comes back to the material, it will be easier for him to pick up his train of thought.
