Use expectations to emphasize two key lessons
"Two of the most important lessons children can learn," wrote columnist William Raspberry, "are that they matter and that they are counted on." A great way to show your child she matters is to set expectations. When you maintain a regular study time, for example, she learns that her education matters to you. When you expect her to act responsibly, she knows you count on her and think she's capable.

Cheating is wrong under any circumstances:
Today, with many students learning in unusual circumstances, they may feel that the usual rules about academic honesty don't apply. But the truth is that a teen who cheats is cheating himself of learning. Remind your teen that there is no difference between copying from an online source without giving credit and taking an item from a store without paying. It's stealing, and it's always wrong.

Write a song, draw a picture, blow a kiss. Whether in person or via video call, let's celebrate the mommas in our life today. 💕
Happy Mother's Day from Royal ISD to all the mothers, teachers, aunts, sisters, friends, and all women who inspire and love a child! May your day be filled with love, laughter, peace, and glitter that someone else cleans up. Have a beautiful day!

For better math results, encourage reading
Many teens don't make the most of their math assignments. They see their math textbook only as a place to find the problems they are assigned. But a math book is also a resource for understanding the "why" of a math method. Encourage your teen to get into the habit of reading (and rereading!) the explanations in the book before she starts to solve the assigned problems.

Play a multiplication game to build math and word skills
Help your child have fun with words and math by offering him a calculator and a dictionary. Then assign each letter of the alphabet a number (A:1, B:2, etc.). Give your child a word and have him use the code to write it in numbers. Next, ask him to multiply those numbers to find the word's product. Finally, challenge him to look in the dictionary for the seven-letter word with the highest product he can find.

Promote learning by doing it together
Academic subjects are not the only things teens need to learn. There are lots of ways to promote learning at home. You might pick some interesting newspaper editorials and share them with your teen. Then ask for his suggestions about how the issues should be handled. Or let him pick a dish he has never tried and cook it together. You and your teen can also talk with older relatives to learn their stories.

Genuine praise boosts persistence
Praise can motivate children to keep working when they are struggling with a subject. But sometimes it can be hard to know what to say. Children recognize false praise, so focus on something your child has done right. You might use phrases such as, "That was a good try" or "You've learned hard things before; I know you'll get it." If she continues to struggle, let the teacher know.
