Discipline problem at school? The solution starts with listening What should you do if you learn your teen has a discipline problem at school? Listen. Instead of getting angry, listen to both your teen and the school staff. Then work together to address the problem. If your teen has been suspended, ask if you can pick up his assignments. Enforce consequences at home, then help your teen make amends. Teens need to learn that they must try to correct their mistakes.
Don't wait to address procrastination problems Most teens put things off at one time or another. But some are regular procrastinators…and their grades show it. To overcome procrastination, encourage your teen to prioritize tasks. Then she can start with the most important thing and work down her list. Help her break overwhelming tasks down into smaller pieces. You can also teach her some positive self-talk: "There's no time like the present!"
