Here are the most important study habits that your teen should be working on during his high school years:
- Organization of information such as what things are due, notes and projects.
- Organization of time or time-management - when are things due; learning to be proactive with assignments or projects.
- Listening skills, paying attention in class and note taking abilities.
- Using their memory and recall.
- Being able to set up a study place independently.
If you feel your teen is not adept at these habits, talk to him/her about it. Pick one skill at a time and set a goal for the next 30 days to develop this habit. Be sure that your teen has all he/she needs to accomplish the goal. For instance, your teen will need a planner to succeed in developing the time-management habit.
