To prevent prejudice, be a model
When teaching your child to view others without prejudice, your actions speak louder than words. Keep in mind that physical differences don't have to be the way you identify people: "the man in the blue shirt" works just as well as "the man in the wheelchair." Avoid generalizing and speak of people as individuals. Explain to your child that differences exist, but they don't make anyone less worthy of respect.

Do you know the signs of inhalant abuse?
Inhalant abuse is highest among young people under 25 years old. And for too many, it is fatal. Could your teen be using household items such as felt-tip markers, glue and paint to get high? Contact a doctor or school counselor if you see these signs: slurred speech, a drunken appearance, a chemical smell on breath or clothing, paint stains on clothing or skin, or sores or a rash around your teen's nose or mouth.

Give your discouraged teen a boost
A teen's self-esteem is a fragile thing. If a bad grade or an argument has your teen down, suggest an "esteem booster" to remind her that she's great: Have her list her positive qualities, or encourage her to do something for herself, like going for a run. Surprising someone else with a nice gesture is another way she can lift her own spirits. If your teen is always down on herself, however, seek professional help.

Play a game of 'reverse tic-tac-toe'
Daily math practice doesn't have to be all work. Playing "reverse tic-tac-toe" is a fun way to help your child build skills for math success. In this version of the game, instead of trying to get three X's or O's in a row himself, your child tries to force you to do it. In order to win, he will have to think and plan ahead (both important skills for solving math problems).
