Three Ways to Help Your Child Finish the School Year Strong

Even though the school year isn’t over, most middle schoolers are

already thinking about summer vacation. The last few weeks of school,

however, are just as important as the rest. It’s vital for your middle

schooler to stay focused so he can finish the school year strong.

To motivate your child to keep working hard as the year winds down:

1. Stick to routines. He’s probably not the only one being wooed

by warmer temperatures and more daylight. If you find yourself let-

ting him hang out with friends longer and longer and stay up later

and later, it’s time to get back on track. Morning comes as early as

ever, and if your middle schooler doesn’t get enough sleep at night,

he may be worn out and unable to focus in class.

2. Stay interested in his school work. Don’t stop asking your child

about what’s happening in class just because, by this point, you’re

pretty familiar with what goes on there. Show him you still care

about his education and the things he is learning in school.

3. Maintain expectations. Remind your child that if his grades

begin to slip near the end of the year—or if he stops completing his

homework—there will be consequences. The thought of missing a

summertime movie or trip to the pool may inspire him to buckle

down.
