Teens don't always get enough sleep. So when they sit down to do schoolwork, many nod off. Small changes in routine can boost your teen's ability to concentrate. Help your student plan a schedule that allows for eight hours of sleep at night. It should include regular exercise, which provides energy and improves sleep. Encourage your teen to keep study snacks light; eating too much brings on drowsiness. For a refresher, your teen can take a five-minute break to move around.

For more information go HERE.

Uncontrolled anger gets many teens into trouble at school. Everyone gets angry sometimes, but it's important for teens to learn to manage these feelings. Counting to 10 is a classic technique that gives your teen a chance to think and get control over emotions. Teens can also try covering their mouths with both hands to contain a flow of angry words. Even saying, "I'm angry" may keep your teen from saying something worse.
