Help from a fellow student may ease school stress:
Big changes at school, such as a new semester with tough classes or a move to a new school, can stress teens out. If this is the case for your teen, consider asking the school to connect him with a more experienced student. A student mentor could study with your teen and help him build skills, or develop your teen's school connection by showing him around and suggesting some after-school activities.

1/6/2020 and 1/7/2020: Teacher In-Service Days

La ayuda de un compaΓ±ero podrΓa aliviar el estrΓ©s escolar:
Atravesar un cambio significativo, como el inicio de un trimestre con clases rigurosas o cambiarse a una escuela nueva, puede estresar a los estudiantes. Si este es el caso de su joven, considere pedirle a la escuela que le presenten a un compaΓ±ero que tenga mΓ‘s experiencia. Un estudiante que haga de mentor podrΓa estudiar con su joven y ayudarlo a adquirir habilidades, o fortalecer su vΓnculo con la escuela al mostrarle el lugar y sugerirle actividades extracurriculares.

Utilice una hoja de tareas para organizar el esfuerzo de su hijo:
Haga una hoja semanal de tareas para ayudar a su hijo a organizarse. Escriba los dΓas de la semana a lo largo del margen superior de una hoja de papel. Enumere las materias (InglΓ©s, MatemΓ‘ticas, Lectura, Estudios Sociales, Ciencias) sobre el margen izquierdo. Durante el dΓa escolar, su hijo puede escribir allΓ los trabajos que le asignan, y usted puede revisarlos y firmarlos cuando Γ©l los haya terminado. DΓgale que guarde la hoja donde ambos puedan verla.

Organize homework efforts with an assignment sheet:
Help your child get organized by creating a weekly homework assignment sheet. Write the days of the week across the top of a piece of paper, and list his subjects: English, Math, Reading, Social Studies, Science, etc. down the left side. Your child can write his assignments in at school, and you can review them and initial when they are complete. Have him store the sheet where you both will see it.

Set your teen up to succeed on high stakes tests:
Some of the tests your teen will take in school have high stakes; they can affect her future. For the best results, help your teen recognize that tests are just a part of life. Discuss tests you've taken, both in school and out, and how your attitude made a difference. You can also help her practice following instructions. Then, before a big test, make sure she gets a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast.

Para captar la atenciΓ³n de su hijo, hable suavemente:
Si "TΓΊ nunca me escuchas" es una frase que se repite mucho en su casa, usted puede mejorar la comunicaciΓ³n de su familia. Si su hijo no le presta atenciΓ³n, resista el deseo de gritar. En cambio, susΓΊrrele. Γl le prestarΓ‘ atenciΓ³n a todas las palabras que diga. Luego devuΓ©lvale el favor, y prΓ©stele atenciΓ³n cuando le habla.

Comente cΓ³mo lee cuando quiere obtener informaciΓ³n:
Probablemente su joven ya sepa leer, pero ΒΏsabe cΓ³mo leer para informarse? Para ayudarlo a aprender, hable con Γ©l sobre cΓ³mo lo hace usted. Por ejemplo, cuando lee un manual de instrucciones, ΒΏrevisa el material primero al leer los tΓtulos y mirar las imΓ‘genes? ΒΏLee una secciΓ³n corta, se fija si la comprende y luego continΓΊa con la lectura? Es probable que las estrategias que le funcionan a usted tambiΓ©n le funcionen a su joven.

To get your child's attention, try speaking softly:
If "You never listen to me" is a common saying at your house, you can improve your family's two-way communication. If your child is not paying attention, resist the inclination to yell. Whisper instead. She'll hang on every word. Then return the favor and give your child your undivided attention.

Discuss ways you tackle informational reading:
Your teen may know how to read, but does he know how to read for information? Help him learn by talking about how you do it. When you read an instructional manual, for example, do you preview the text by reading the headings and looking at the pictures? Do you read a short section, see if you understand it, and move on? Odds are, the strategies that work for you will work for your teen.

Welcome to 2020!

Sugiera estrategias para mejorar la memoria a largo plazo:
Hay muchas tΓ©cnicas que pueden ayudar a su joven a recordar el material que estudia. AnΓmelo a resumir los conceptos principales en una tarjeta y pegarla con cinta adhesiva en un lugar que vea con frecuencia. AyΓΊdelo a pensar maneras de relacionar el material con la informaciΓ³n que ya sabe. Su joven tambiΓ©n podrΓa grabar el material y luego escucharlo, o convertir la informaciΓ³n en una canciΓ³n o rap. Revisar el material repetidas veces durante un perΓodo de tiempo tambiΓ©n lo ayudarΓ‘ a recordar la informaciΓ³n durante mΓ‘s tiempo.

For a strong parent-child relationship, remember 10 C's:
Time is limited and you want to be the best parent you can be. You will be when you keep these 10 C's of a strong parent-child relationship in mind: caring, cuddling, commitment, companionship, conversation, consistency, chores, creativity, connections and culture. Give your child some of each today.

Suggest strategies to improve long-term memory:
Several techniques can help your teen remember the material she studies. Encourage her to summarize key concepts on an index card and tape it where she'll see it often. Help her brainstorm ways to relate the material to things she already knows. Your teen might also record the material and play it back to herself, or turn the information into a song or rap. Reviewing the material repeatedly over time will also help her remember it longer.
