Share a simple system for remembering reading:
Studying with the R-C-R-C method can help children remember what they read. Teach your child these four steps: Read: Have her read aloud to herself. Cover: She should put a piece of paper over the passage. Remember: Ask her to explain what she read in her own words (if she can't do this, have her try a shorter passage). Check: Your child should reread the material to see if she remembered it right.

Step in to keep your teen out of gangs:
A gang is a youth group with a difference: It exists to promote violence and illegal acts. To discourage gang involvement, make sure you know where your teen is and with whom. "Going out" should have a purpose; just hanging out on the street often leads to trouble. One top reason kids join gangs is to feel they belong, so make it clear that your teen can always turn to you.

There is no such thing as safe tobacco use
Many parents believe that their kids are too smart to smoke. But youth tobacco use is rising, and e-cigarettes (vaping devices) lead the list of products. Vaping is linked to a recent outbreak of deadly lung disease. Vapers are also more likely to become smokers, and life expectancy for smokers is 10 years shorter than for nonsmokers. Make it clear to your child that you do not allow tobacco use of any kind.

For the best final draft, your teen should plan to revise:
Professional writers know that writing can almost always be improved in some way. If your teen has a paper to write, encourage him to get an early start. This will give him time to make several drafts before he has to turn it in. You can offer to read his work, but avoid general criticism. Instead, give specific, constructive comments, like "Perhaps you can add a sentence to explain your point in the third paragraph."

Link your child's interests to possible careers:
Exploring careers is fun for elementary schoolers, and it helps them link learning to life. Help your child think about future careers by noticing his interests and supporting them. Give an animal lover a library book about a vet. A budding astronaut might like to try out a telescope. Your child's choices may differ from yours, but who knows? With your support, your little inventor may really build a better mousetrap.

Short-term goals add up to long-term progress:
The best way to accomplish a long-term goal is to set and meet short-term goals along the way. If your teen has a goal of being a better student, for example, help her think of something she can accomplish this week that will help. She might keep to a regular study schedule or make an effort to participate in each class. At the end of the week, she can assess her progress and set another goal.
