Your Child 12-18

Graduation

Dear Parents,

Nearly all high-school students are preparing for final exams. Find methods to help your child practice taking tests, review central concepts, and sharpen his memory before finals begin.

A hearty congratulations to the high-school graduates in your life! Graduation is an exciting time for grateful grads, but it's also a little sad for the parents who will soon have to say goodbye. For now, celebrate by giving a great graduation gift, and then prepare for the transition to college.

Teen friendships can be complicated, and can be a major source of stress. Find out how to maximize your child's social skills, and how to get involved when your teen has trouble making friends -- or keeps making friends who are trouble.
