Short chats add up to meaningful conversation:
A teen who longs for independence may not have any interest in a long talk with you. But you can still talk with her about the issues that matter. Just figure on five or six short talks instead of one long one. Talk about something for five minutes, then, as she disappears into her room, press the "pause" button. After dinner, pick up where you left off. Over time, you'll cover the issue, just in short bursts.

Children's magazines make science reading appealing:
Experts say that a receiving a magazine subscription of their own can encourage children to read. To inspire your child's interest in reading about science, check out these titles: "National Geographic Kids" (kids.nationalgeographic.com), "Ranger Rick" (rangerrick.org), "Chickadee" (us.owlkids.com) or "Science News for Students" (www.sciencenewsforstudents.org).

As COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, Google continues to thank those who are helping us all. To all coronavirus helpers, thank you. https://www.google.com/doodles/thank-you-coronavirus-helpers
Acknowledging feelings helps your child manage them:
Sometimes when a child has a problem, what she needs most is for a parent or loved one to say, "I can see how upset you are." With those few words, you let your child know that you understand she is feeling sad or frustrated. That gives her some choices. Instead of just showing her distress, she can tell you more about the problem, ask for your help, or begin to look for a solution on her own.

Turn your teen into a history detective:
Many teens think history is just memorizing boring facts. To help your teen see history in a new light, suggest that he read it like a mystery where he is the detective. He can skim a chapter and ask himself, "Who are the main characters?" "What do they want?" "Who is against them?" "What has to change for them to get what they want?" "Do they get it?" "How?" Then, have him read the chapter carefully and tell you the answers.

Ideas and tips to help you feel good everyday!
It doesn't take a degree to promote learning:
You don't have to be an expert in your teen's subjects to help her succeed academically. What matters is that you encourage and enable learning. Give your teen opportunities to research and learn more about things like family purchases and activity options. Ask her to explain new concepts she's learning to you. Ask for her opinions. And show respect for her talents; they may be the foundation of her future career.

Focus attention on following directions:
Does your child seem forgetful, absent-minded or irresponsible when you give directions? An ability to focus on instructions and carry them out is important to his school success. To help him concentrate, reduce distractions when you speak to him. Turn off the TV. Say things like "I know it's hard for you to pay attention, but I need to see your eyes when I'm talking to you." Then keep your instructions short.
