Raising teenagers is a whole new ball game, and quite frankly, it can be rough at times. You might experience an attitude as they try to find themselves, or fit in with certain crowds at school. You may also feel like they are pushing you away at times. While that is all normal teenage behavior, it may be tough to deal with. You’ve just got to try your best to hold your chin up. You’ve got this! Now, when it comes to teenage study habits, that can get a little bit more complicated. Don’t fret though, because I have some tips that may help out, for the both of you.
High school can be challenging for teenagers. There is a heavier workload, and some of it might be harder for them to do, resulting in needing more time for studying to keep their grades up. Of course the social aspect comes into play too, as they want to hang out, rather than spending day and night studying. Let’s not even talk about the extra curricular activities that may take up some of their time too. Putting a plan into place now will help you and your teen to keep the focus and develop study habits to help them throughout their high school years.
Teenage study habits to help get through high school
- Create a quiet study space – I found that creating a quiet work space just for studying really helped to make study time easier for my teen. This is a space in our home that is used only for studying. My husband built a desk that sits in the corner of our family room, which we keep quiet when it’s time to study. Going into his senior year, he still uses this space to get his school work completed.
- Stay organized – Nothing halters productivity more than a messy space, so keep the study area organized. It should also have all of the tools that your teen may need for studying like pens and pencils, paper, index cards and perhaps a calculator and any other supplies that they utilize regularly.
- Designate a study time – Routine can really help things run more smoothly, so designating a specific time of day for studying is a great idea. Shortly after school,or right after dinner are generally good times, but do whatever works best for your teen.
- Provide homework assistance – Of course as parents, we can help assist our teens with homework. After-all, that’s how many of us got through high school. Let’s face it though, we live in a digital world now, so research and answers are literally at our fingertips. Setting your teen up with a Chromebook powered by Intel® Core™ Processor is something that can really aide him or her in their studies.
High school requires a lot more work from your student, and a good portion of that is digital work. A Chromebook is perfect for high school students to upload videos twice as fast, browse the internet 2.7 times faster (2) and load Google docs up to 3.6 times faster (3). A Chromebook is a great tool for your teens high school years because of its price and portability. It can be used at home, taken to the classroom and even used for group study sessions. Your child will have everything that they need right at their fingertips.
Performance is important because there is almost nothing more frustrating than a slow machine when you’re trying to study or work on a project for school. A Chrome device with a powerful 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i3 processor performs quickly while running Chrome or Android apps. Multitasking is simple and effortless, and the graphics are on point. Long days aren’t an issue thanks to its long battery life, efficient energy usage and wireless capability. The new Chromebook delivers next level powerful performance for all that you do from surfing the web, watching videos, editing photos and more.
A thin, lightweight Chromebook readily syncs across multiple devices and is perfect for work and play. This entertainment hub is designed for 4K UHD video streaming, gaming, and more. It has top of the line security features to help keep your child and their information safe.
