Spring break is upon us this week. For many teens, this means hanging out at home with friends. For other teens, this might mean travelling on a family vacation or school trip.
Everyone needs a break - and spring break can be such a valuable time for your teen. Getting a break from study and being able to sleep in are at the top of every teen's list. Encourage your teen to take time to rest and spend time with friends having fun. Time for play is important.
So is time spent with family. Use this time to take the opportunity to see how your teen is thinking about the rest of the school year. Help him prepare for deadlines he might be facing when he returns to school.
For those of you who have seniors in your home, this might be the last spring break that you spend some time with your teen. Make the most of it!
