School counselors can help you support your teen
Your teen's school counselor is here to help her. But the counselor is also a resource for you. Contact the counselor if you have questions about your teen's classes or her schedule. You can also call if you are concerned about your teen's behavior, or to get help planning for her future. And if your teen's grades are suffering, the counselor can help you and your teen develop solutions to get her back on track.

Encourage activities that reveal strengths and interests
Discovering strengths and interests is a key step in the journey toward college and career readiness. Reading widely will expose your teen to new ideas and pursuits. So will talking to people about their jobs and interests. Encourage him to try new things, such as a new club at school. And when he learns about a career he might like, suggest that he find out what high school classes he should take to prepare.

Create a time line of your child's lifetime
A time line is a graphic way to help your child connect world history to her own personal history. To make one, stretch a roll of paper along the floor. Have your child draw a line horizontally across it. Above the line, she can write important dates in her life, chronologically from left to right. Below the line, help her do the same with historic events that have occurred since her birth.

Stay social, at a distance.
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.
