The final years of adolescence bring dramatic changes in our teens. Their bodies continue to grow and change, but that pales compared to the intellectual and emotional growth.
This natural psychological development, and the demands of the fast-approaching adult world, mean that parents, teachers, coaches, and other adults must take a step back. Where we once led our toddlers around by the hand, we now need to walk beside and back a little to let our children learn, and most importantly, practice the skills they will need as young adults.
All the science and advice can overwhelm busy families. To help, we have separated the most important growth areas into categories and grouped age-appropriate targets by grade.
Learn, think, do, assess, and repeat to continue growth
Emotional Habits of Successful Teens & Adults:
Building self-knowledge, self-management, and self-agency
Experiences that will help shape the future and build a resilient mind and body
Peer and adult connections that provide support and teach teamwork, communication, and problem solving
Actively plan depth, breadth, rigor and growth
Finding a fit that suits your teen and the economy of tomorrow and then arranging college or training for that plan
Specific College-Admission Tasks to Check Off Each Year
Your student has 16 quarters of high school. Working on one skill for several weeks gives your student plenty of time to tackle one, make it a habit, then move to the next one. This pattern of setting a goal and the steps to meet it moves your student steadily forward rather than feeling overwhelmed.
