Advice for
Parents/Guardians
With so many distractions in today's society, now more than ever, it
is important to stay abreast of your teenage child's academic and
social progress. Your child needs your guidance in preparing for the
future.
Things to do:
- Establish a
relationship with your child's school and teachers. Don't always
wait for educators to call you be proactive and initiate the
contact. Research reveals a higher level of achievement for
students whose parents are involved in the school.
- Gain an
understanding of your child's talents and interests. Use
excellent websites such as www.careersandcolleges.com to relate
their talents and interests with colleges and/or careers. The
computerized guidance counselor will help guide you through the
activities.
- Continue to
insist that your child respects you, others, and most
importantly themselves. The development of high self-esteem,
manners, and a positive attitude is critical to their success.
Parents, your actions speak louder than words.
