Spring break starts next week for many students; for others, their break will be the following week. Your teen has been excited about this break and is just ready to be out of school for a while.
What activities do your teens engage in during Spring Break? Sleeping late in the morning is usually at the top of the list. Teens also wish to spend time with their friends - often just hanging out at a friend's home. Some families travel during this time.
Spring break should be a time for fun and relaxation. Your teen needs a break after the long haul from New Year's until Spring Break, and he needs to get ready for completing the remainder of his course work this year.
Have your teen reevaluate how he is progressing and help him with setting priorities to accomplish after he returns to school. Revisit these priorities on a weekly basis for his first few weeks back to school to help him see how helpful this can be to the process.
And be sure to have some fun over Spring Break!
