Are you a bottom line kind of person? You don’t want to read article after article, book after book. What you really want is the bottom line.
If you’re a bottom line person, this list is for you.
Here are five of my best high schooling tips, straight up.
Tip #1
Always be ready with help and support, but gradually place more and more responsibility on your student.
Tip #2
Involve your teen in all choices that directly affect him/her, or could potentially affect him/her.
Tip #3
Forget everything you thought you knew about high school, then create a personalized high school experience for your student instead.
Tip #4
Imagine your student having THE most successful finish (i.e., graduation), and then use the next four years to figure out how to get him/her there.
Tip #5
There is much more to high school than just academics.
There’s your bottom line.
Have questions? I’m always glad to help.
