If you suspect bullying, bring it up:
Bullying isn't just physical, and cyberbullying is on the rise. Victims of bullying often keep quiet about what is happening to them. If your teen is suddenly withdrawn and you think something may be going on, try to talk about it. If your student is being bullied, report it to the school. Your teen may benefit from counseling; students affected by bullying may need help to cope with their feelings. Act early—bullying won't go away by itself.

Offer reading support three simple ways:
If your child has difficulty with reading, here are three ways to help: First, pre-read the material and go over any words that might give your child trouble before he starts reading. Second, stay close by to help with hard words. And third, as he reads, ask questions about the material, such as "Who is this story about?" In answering, your child may discover he understands more than he thinks.

#COVID19 lives on droplets in the lungs of people with the virus, even if they don’t have symptoms. When infected people breathe, the virus enters the air. If you can’t #StayHome, wear a mask/scarf/bandana, stay 6 feet apart, and wash your hands. #DontGoViral
Communication helps prevent substance abuse:
You may think there's plenty of time before you need to talk to your child about drugs. This is not true. Young children are exposed to messages about drugs in the media. The opioid crisis has devastated many families. Discuss the dangers with your child. Ask what your child has heard, and make your rules clear: No drugs ever (unless prescribed for your child). Parent-child communication is so important that some experts call it the "anti-drug."

Open up communication with your teen:
When your teen was young, you may have wished for quiet. Now, you probably wish she'd open up a little more. So get the ball rolling. If you start a story with "Guess what happened to me today," your teen may respond with what happened to her. Teens often worry that parents will be shocked by what they have to say, so watch your reactions. "Tell me why you think that" works better than "That's ridiculous."
