Teens today have so much likewise to distract them besides their
homework, the opposite sex, friends, family members, and
extracurricular activities. Besides learning how to drive,
teenagers are occupied with playing with an assortment of
electronic gizmos including cell phones, camera phones, personal
computers, MP3 players, DVD players, ipods, xboxs, digital
cameras, the list goes on. Wired? You betcha…and then some.
Perhaps all of this electronic gadgetry has you concerned and
you are wondering just how you can extract your teen and involve
them in an outside activity where they can expand their minds
and refresh their bodies. Are you out of ideas? Let’s look at
some options that may appeal to them and remove the worry from
you.
Work on the Car So, you think that a car isn’t a kid
magnet as much as when you first learned how to drive? Think
again. Today, kids are pimping their rides and expressing
themselves through their cars. Custom paint, decals, blacked out
windows, even faux aircraft wings are being attached to the
outside of their cars. On the inside, it can be totally surreal:
rear view mirrors wrapped with a studded belts, frilly seat
cover trim, pushpin art attached to the headliner, decals
everywhere, etc. Let them pimp your Camry or Explorer…that’ll
keep them off the computer…and get you noticed too!
Volunteer Help your teen organize a group of his or her
friends to clean up the neighborhood, paint an elderly
neighbor’s house, teach younger kids how to ride bikes, or visit
folks at the local nursing home. You remember when you were a
teen and you heard the comments from your parent’s generation
about kids not wanting to do anything or being “no good,” right?
With a little direction, young people can do just about anything
and are massed than willing to help out if you believe in them.
Rewards are nice too…be prepared to throw a pizza party after
their time of service is over for the day.
Get a Job Kids who hold a job while going to school learn
how to handle their money and budget their time. Limit work
hours to fewer than 20 per week to ensure that their grades are
not adversely affected. If your student is involved in
extracurricular activities too, make sure that this time is
included with the hours that they work. Maintaining good grades
is essential, no job or outside activity is worth it if it takes
away from their schooling.
In all cases, show your teen that you believe in him or her. As
you know, parenting is much higher than providing for their
needs…you want to guide your child from youth toward adulthood
by showing them that there is much major to life than all things
electronic. So, gently disconnect your teen and get them
involved with other pursuits.

Senior High Home Schooling: Help – my child is smarter than me!
Yikes! My child is a genius and smarter than me! It’s a scary
thought, isn’t it? But remember to stop and congratulate
yourself and your child – be proud of the great job that you’ve
done so far. A great resource for your ‘genious’ is to tap into
the online home schooling resources. There are curriculums that
can be purchased and completed online. Some will provide
textbooks as well as standard home schooling products. Another
option is to take classes that can be held in a virtual
classroom, students can use a web cam to participate or they can
simply use lecture based courses online. The online options for
your student are endless. For starters, just do a Google search
for ‘home school high school’ and see all the information that
comes up. Also, many cities have parent co-ops to help share
resources. Check with your local library to see where and when
your local home schooling group meets. Sharing books and
resources with other parents is an excellent, low cost option.
Should you stop home schooling and consider public or private
school instead? Many parents feel that during the high school
years, education at home is too difficult and find it hard to
challenge their child. They consider sending their child to
public high school. But, this can be a difficult and troublesome
transition for your ‘brainy’ teenager. The environment in a
public high school can be anything but stimulating to an
advanced student or even inviting to a child who has been home
schooled up until now. A private school may be better, but still
may not tailor their curiculum to the advanced student not to
mention the expense of high tuition. There are still the
problems with your child being ‘the new kid’ at school. New
friends, new teachers, new expectations are all anxiety
producing for your child.
What other options are there? If you feel over-whelmed about
home schooling your senior high school student and don’t want to
consider public or private high school – what else can you do?
Consider your network of fellow parents who home school. What
are you number one at? What are their strengths? There may be a way to
trade skills with other parents. A parent who has skills and
interests in high school educating may be willing to teach your
child along with their child in trade for you teaching one of
their children who is younger. The double bonus here is added
socialization for both high school students.
College Post Secondary Option Another resource for your
‘advanced’ high school student is the post secondary option at
your local college or junior college. This has great advantages
for both you and your child. Your child won’t be branded as ‘the
new kid’ – everyone at college is new. Many times you aren’t
required to pay college tuition for the classes that your child
takes. Your child receives high school credit and enjoys the
socialization and mental stimulation that advanced classes can
bring. It’s a great option for both of you!
