Yesterday I took a referral from a mother of an almost 14 year old girl. She was in Year 7, just approaching the end of her first year in high school. She was worried because her daughter wasn’t learning at school. Primary school had seemed to go ok, but high school was a whole different kettle of fish. Her friends had dropped off and she was just not coping with all the changes involved with high school. Listening to this mother reminded me of just how much things change for our teenagers and for us as parents of teenagers. There is so much that is really exciting for our teenagers, yet so much they have to learn to become happy adults who reach their potential. Building their academic skills helps teenagers feel more comfortable about themselves.
I'd love to hear your comments. Leave me a message, if you have a moment.
