Make sure your teen gets the flu vaccine and other required shots.
If your child seems bored or anxious about school, talk to teachers, school counselors, or your principal for advice on how to make your child feel safe and excited about learning.
Check in weekly about your student's academic progress and seek help from teachers or tutors if needed.
Stay on top of your child's social contacts. In later grades, peer pressure can lead to skipping class and teens who have a hard time making friends can feel isolated.
