Academics

High school academics for our teens should be as much about learning history or math or a language as it is about our teens actually learning about themselves. They should be discovering their interests, their strengths and what it means to think for themselves.  Today it's turning into taking ever more difficult courses and killing themselves to get top grades, but it doesn't have to be this way.  As parents, we can help them make choices to maintain balance, protect their mental health and to actually enjoy their high school experience.
