Education has taken a wild ride throughout this pandemic. We understand the disruptions and setbacks this has created for some students. Here are 3 ways to help your teenage student this year in Chico, CA:
1. Provide stability.
When they feel like they have no control, providing them with a form of stability is one way to bring them some peace. Whether in-class, remote, or hybrid, an academic coach or tutor can be a constant in their academic life. Academic Coaches and Tutors from ACS provide support, feedback, resources, accountability and much more. These individuals are dedicated to ensuring students have what they need when they need it, no matter the environment.
2. Create Ways to Learn Together.
Discuss things both you and they would like to learn about. Determine a few ways you could explore the topic. Maybe take a small trip or visit a library together to research the subject. Whatever it is, the common interest in learning creates a powerful bond and demonstrates to them how lifelong learning is important.
3. Set Goals.
Your teen needs to set their own goals, but can have input from you. Getting them to a place where they can articulate their goals can be difficult. That is where you may want to have an academic coach from ACS step in and guide them through the process. It is not a small feat to get a teenager to discuss their career goals, their lifestyle goals and their plan to accomplish these things. Often, they have no idea how to get from what they think they want to be “when they grow up” to an actual career. These things are important to discuss, but maybe more so at this stage, are the how and the why.
