People with no symptoms have the potential to unknowingly spread COVID-19! Thatβs why itβs best for everyone in your family to stay at home and away from others as much as possible until instructed otherwise from state and local officials. #StayHomeTexas

Help your teen solve word problems, step by step:
If Joe read 37 books in the past 18 months, and he read 22 of them in the first 12 months, how many books did Joe read in the past six months? Share four steps with your teen for solving word problems like this: 1. Identify the quantity the problem is asking for. 2. Symbolize this quantity with a letter. 3. Write an equation that translates the word problem into a number problem (X equals 37-22). 4. Solve the equation.

Β‘Las personas sin sΓntomas tienen el potencial de propagar COVID-19 sin saberlo! Por eso lo mejor para todos en su familia es quedarse en casa y lejos de los demΓ‘s tanto como sea posible hasta que los funcionarios estatales y locales le indiquen lo contrario. #StayHomeTexas

Texas Health and Human Services has established a COVID-19 Mental Health Support Line. Call 833-986-1919 to speak with a mental health professional for help dealing with stress, anxiety, or depression.
Use your eyes when correcting behavior:
Your child is more likely to do as you ask if she is actually listening to you in the first place. To get her attention when you correct her behavior, move close to her. Raise your voice only enough to make her look at you. Look your child in the eye, and with a neutral expression, ask for the behavior you want. Hold eye contact for a moment after speaking. Your point will have been both made and heard.

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.

Texas, remember the importance of social distancing. If you must go out, avoid public spaces and keep your distance from others (at least 6 feet). If we continue to follow valuable public health guidance, fewer of our friends & family will be affected by COVID-19. #StayHomeTexas

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 earlyβbullying won't go away by itself.
