Master Teacher Tips for a Successful End-of-Year
The end of the school year is filled with so many activities from sports events to music concerts to final tests. Emphasize that academics still come first. It may be difficult, but keep things on a regular routine as much as possible by enforcing regular bedtimes.

Make sure your daughter is keeping up with homework and projects. Spring fever is alive!

If the activity calendar is overwhelming for your daughter, help her manage stress. When a child is not sleeping or eating normally or is becoming very irritable all the time, talk with her about doing too much in a short period of time. Suggest that she meet with her advisor for help in prioritizing and planning of school work. Children feel pressures just like adults do when their days are filled with a jumble of responsibilities and projects.
