In honor of Presidents’ Day, suggest that your teen learn how past presidents shaped history. A good place to start is by researching major events online, such as the Civil War and the Industrial Revolution. What impact did presidents have on the course of history?

Suggest that your teen take a 15-minute mental vacation to relax when they're coping with stress. They can close their eyes and take deep breaths. Or they might zone out while listening to a soothing nature recording from YouTube or from the Calm app. #GCMSOpportunity

Your teen will need to use a style guide (MLA, APA, or Chicago Manual of Style) for writing assignments. Whatever guide is assigned, remind them to refer to it frequently as they write to format their work and document sources correctly.
Is your teen a techie? Suggest that they take an online class or watch YouTube videos to teach themselves a new technology skill. They might learn to build a website, design a mobile app, or write a computer program. They’ll build skills they can carry forward into a career.
Internet challenges can encourage teens to try dangerous stunts to get “likes” and comments. Ask your child what challenges they have heard about, and talk about the hazards involved. Also, it’s a good idea to “friend” them on social media so you keep up with what’s happening.
Consider letting your teen have more freedom when it comes to smaller decisions like how to wear their hair. Your relationship will be smoother, & they’ll be more receptive to what you have to say about more serious issues like vaping & social media safety.
