Tips to Encourage Teenage Kids to Study Harder

Teenage life is the toughest stage that everybody must pass through. It is the time when the kids are very curious and want to try things out. It is also the time when your kids are self conscious and might not be able to stay focused and motivated in their studies. Therefore, it is very important to be there for them and let them know how important their studies are. You should ensure that your kids have a specific space and furniture for their studies. When they perform well, you must reward and praise them for their good deeds. Be patient with them and never compare them with other kids because every child is unique. You can also let them choose a study time that suits them so that they do not have to be pushed around. Review your teen’s assignments everyday and show interest in their studies by asking them what they learn in school. Ultimately, remember that motivating your kid is not a onetime thing but lasts as long as they are in school.

Back-to-school season

It’s back-to-school season again! It’s like only last month that we were talking about going somewhere and now they are back to school in a few days. I remember I was writing about custom car seat covers when my son mentioned about going to Water Fun while its still vacation. We are  discussing about it and made a tentative plan, but due to financial constraints the plan didn’t materialize.

School supplies

We just bought the kids school supplies today. We were a little behind schedule, but just in time before school opens next week. We bought them notebooks, pad paper, pens, bond paper and more. Shopping for school supplies this year is more convenient for us because the kids, who are now both in high school, will be using similar school items. It saves us time wandering around the bookstore. But we could have saved more and might have an extra budget to buy outdoor antennas if we went to Divi for their school supplies.
