Choose gifts that promote creativity and interaction:
Your time and attention are the best gifts you can give your child. But when considering material gifts, think about screen-free items that allow creativity and interaction. Gifts like hand puppets, balls, crafts, jump ropes and table games are great for children ages five to nine. For older children, gifts related to hobbies and scientific activities are ideal. And books are always a great option for children of all ages.

Ayude a su joven a hacer preguntas analíticas:
Con frecuencia, los educadores hablan del razonamiento analítico. Dicho simplemente, cada vez que los estudiantes analizan algo y se hacen preguntas están razonando. Para ayudar a su joven a pensar críticamente sobre algo, dígale que se pregunte: ¿Tiene sentido? ¿Está respaldado por hechos? Si se trata de una opinión, ¿está de acuerdo? Ínstelo a tener una mente abierta y no aceptar ni rechazar una idea nueva sin analizarla.

Help your teen ask critical thinking questions:
Educators talk a lot about critical thinking. Simply put, anytime students think things over, asking questions in their minds, they are thinking critically. To help your teen think critically about something, have him stop and ask himself: Does it make sense? Is it supported by facts? If it's an opinion, does he agree? Urge him to keep an open mind and not accept or dismiss a new idea without thinking it through.

Escoja regalos que fomenten la creatividad y la interacción:
Su tiempo y atención son los mejores regalos que puede darle a su hijo. Pero a la hora de seleccionar regalos materiales, piense en los artículos sin pantallas que fomenten la creatividad y la interacción. Los regalos como títeres de mano, pelotas, artesanías, cuerdas para saltar y juegos de mesa son estupendos para los niños de cinco a nueve años. Para los niños mayores, los regalos relacionados con sus pasatiempos y actividades científicas son ideales. Y los libros siempre son una estupenda opción para los niños de todas las edades.

¡No espere! Comience los preparativos para la universidad ahora:
Pensar en la universidad no es solo para los estudiantes del último año de secundaria. Sin importar la edad de su joven, hay maneras importantes de prepararse. Los estudiantes de intermedia deberían concentrarse en adquirir habilidades de estudio. Los estudiantes del noveno grado deberían comenzar a elaborar un plan de cuatro años con las clases que cursarán para cumplir con los requisitos de admisión a la universidad. Los estudiantes del décimo grado deberían cursar clases rigurosas y prepararse para rendir el SAT o ACT. Los estudiantes del undécimo grado deberían hacer todo lo anterior y también investigar (y de ser posible, visitar) las universidades que más les gustan.

Don't wait! Start college preparations now:
Thinking about college is not just for high school seniors. No matter your student's age, there are important ways she can prepare. Middle schoolers should work on developing study skills. Ninth graders should be making a four-year plan of courses to fulfill college admission requirements. Tenth graders should be taking rigorous courses and preparing to take the SAT or ACT. Eleventh graders should do all of the above and should be researching (and visiting, if possible) the colleges they like most.

Cómo evitar la disminución en la lectura típica de cuarto grado:
Es común que los niños sufran una disminución en la lectura alrededor de cuarto grado. Los libros que comienzan a leer son más difíciles, y la concentración de los estudiantes se ve reducida. Para cerciorarse de que su hijo continúe leyendo, no deje de leer con él. Su participación le muestra que la lectura es importante. Busque material de lectura relacionado con los intereses de su hijo. Limite el tiempo que pasa frente a la pantalla, y deje que se aburra algunas veces. Pues cuando esto sucede, podría abrir un libro y leer.

What to do when the 'fourth-grade reading slump' strikes:
It's common for kids to hit a reading slump around fourth grade. The books get harder and the students' concentration decreases. To ensure that your child keeps reading, continue to read with him. Your involvement shows him that reading is important. Look for reading materials that match your child's interests. Limit his screen time, and let your child be bored sometimes. He just might pick up a book.

Encourage a reluctant reader to try something short:
Too many students never learn to see reading as something they can do for fun. To encourage your teen to read for pleasure, suggest he try reading a collection of short stories or poems. If he doesn't like one poem or story, he can move on to another. If he finds one he likes, suggest that he read other works by the same author. Your teen may also enjoy reading a biography of a writer whose works he likes.
