Back to School in 5 Trouble-free Steps

Tuesday August 4, 2009
Are you ready to send your teen back to school? I’m not. We’re still doing summer vacation thing here – and having a lot of fun with it! I’m not sure I want it to end. But end it must, I guess. Every school year your teen faces big changes when he/she goes back to school. Your teen is older, classes are getting harder and his/her future is getting closer. All of this causes very real stress - your teen is going to need your help!

You can give your teen a strong trouble-free start this school year by following these five back to school steps. Do you have more tips for other parents? Leave them in the comments area.

I found a website that gave me links to companies to shop for back to school clothes for my junior high kid. It also gives fashion advice for teen agers. The website is http://www.elite-teens.net

Teenage daughter hanging with the wrong crowd?

Was she a good apple who has recently found a bad bunch to call her friends?
Has she chosen a new set of friends that seem like a bad influence?
Do your daughter’s “new friends” seem like trouble?
Has your daughter been in trouble with the principal or the police?
Are you surprised by her choices recently?
Have your daughter’s grades suffered?
Has she quit cheerleading, sports, dance, extra-curricular activities?
Are you afraid you’re losing your connection with your daughter?
Want to stop her behavior now before it gets worse?
