Be Their Favorite Teacher…. Be There!

As a concerned parent, grandparent, or guardian, you know the importance of connecting with your young person. The more you are involved, the better your child's achievements. However, in today's busy world, it's not that easy for many  families. Cell phones, the Internet, demanding jobs, and hectic schedules are ongoing distractions.

That's why you are invited to join the school's Be There campaign. Being There doesn't take a lot of time or money, and it's easy. All you have to do is stop, make eye contact, smile, ask a question, or share your expertise. One moment of connecting with your child daily will multiply into a lifetime of benefits. And, you'll become your child's favorite teacher.

To a teenager, the positive attention shown by parents and guardians says, "Your life is important, daughter (or son), and I'm going to give you my time." Spend time with them, show them you will listen and talk and work things out together. Invade their world . . . and let them invade yours.

Student Success is a Community Affair

Author Arthur Miller wrote that man's greatest need is "to leave a thumb print somewhere on the world." As adults, our thumb print is reflected in the lives of our young people. They are truly our legacy on this earth. Regardless of our choice of profession, we are all educators. As parents train children, employers direct employees, and leaders guide followers, they practice the art of teaching. You are your child's first teacher!

Imagine a whole generation of confident, high achieving students whose parents are involved in their lives and in their school. At Mohave High School, we believe that excellence is best accomplished through the synergy of collaboration. A community partnership with a shared vision that is articulated by a common language - accomplished through common goals - and founded on common sense - provides the environment necessary for student success. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of young people!

Few would argue, however, that learning begins at home. You can find teachable moments as you go through your ordinary routines. When you drive to school, prepare and share a meal, do the laundry, or work on the lawn, take a moment to Be There for your young person.

Communication Tips for Connecting With Your Teenager

• Make Your Teenager a Priority
  Think about it. When your teen is going to want to talk, you're probably going to be up to your ears in a million other things. The key is to drop what you're doing and listen. It will still be there when you're done, and if your teen wants to talk, that is a golden opportunity that shouldn't be missed.
• Eat Together
  With busy schedules, more and more families are getting away from sitting with each other for meals, which wastes valuable communication time. Get into the habit of eating together at least twice a week and enjoy your family time. Communication always goes smoother over good food.
• Get Involved in School
  Know what is going on in your teen's school, join the parents' group, and keep in touch with teachers. Your teen may protest; however, research shows that parent involvement helps to strengthen both student performance and communication.
• Share a Hobby
  Choose something that would benefit you both. Sharing a common interest promotes trust and common understanding.
• Don't Push
  There will be times and certain topics that your teen refuses to discuss. That is OK! They are learning to be independent, and need these times to sort things out for themselves. As long as you don't have the feeling it is something that will hurt him/her, give them space.

Teachable moments are everywhere. Be your child's favorite teacher. Connect in meaningful ways! Be There!

Sincerely,

Michael Leuck
