Suggest that your teen find examples of résumés online and practice writing one. Discuss what types of experience your child might use to land a first job. For example, volunteer work, babysitting jobs, mowing lawns, extracurricular activities, and leadership roles all count.

Let your teen decorate a wall with a display of art and photographs to practice spatial reasoning, creativity, and planning. (Tip: Look for “gallery wall ideas” online.) Suggest arranging the pieces on the floor until they look “just right” before hanging them.

The decision-making part of the brain continues to develop into early adulthood. Help your teen learn from poor decisions by asking questions like “What went well, and what didn’t go so well?” or “What might you do differently next time?” #GCMSOpportunity

Stress the importance of doing math homework the same day it’s assigned. The information will be fresher in your teen’s mind, which should make studying easier. And your child will know right away if additional help from the teacher is needed. #GCMSOpportunity

Teens who read a lot have an advantage. They tend to read faster and understand more of what they read—and they often write better, too. Encourage yours to read frequently, even if it’s not traditional novels. A coding manual, or role-playing game book counts, too.
