Teens Homework Study Plan

shared by Aninder S on 08 Jan 12 - Cached
  • Create a Homework Plan
  • First, be sure you understand the assignment. Write it down in your notebook or day planner if you need to, and don't be afraid to ask questions about what's expected
  • It's much easier to take a minute to ask the teacher during or after class than to struggle to remember later that night!

  • Second, use any extra time you have in school to work on your homework
  • Many schools have study halls that are specifically designed to allow students to study or get homework done
  • It's tempting to hang out with friends during study periods or unstructured time, but the more work you can get done in school, the less you'll have to do that night.
  • Third, pace yourself
  • If you don't finish your homework during school, think about how much you have left and what else is going on that day, and then budget your time
  • Most high-school students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night.

Teens School Work

shared by Aninder S on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • For some teens working while studying is easy, for others it is a nightmare, the first decision you and your teen have to make is if it is possible to juggle work and school at the same time.
  • Will the job influence your teen’s school performance in a positive or a negative way.
  • teach him a few things about responsibility and discipline which will help your teen with his school performance.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • On the other hand some teens will find it too difficult to have a job and go to school and they will cut corners, skip their homework and eventually their academic achievements will drop.
  • You also need to consider if this will influence the extracurricular activities of your teenage
  • If your teen can’t handle both it doesn’t mean that your teen should only focus on school and skip having a job, just encourage him to look around and find a more appropriate job position.
  • Juggling two great responsibilities is hard work for adults, let alone teens.

Teens High School

shared by Aninder S on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • The pressure for teens nowadays is unprecedented
  • With so many high-achieving kids, it’s no wonder that teens—and their parents—feel as if a child has to have a multi-page resume, be a world-class athlete or manage her own business by the time she is 18. But that just isn’t possible for everyone.
  • Staying Focused On Schoolwork
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • In high school, grades and extracurricular activities become part of that all-important “permanent record.” And if your child wants to get into a good college, she will have to go the extra mile.
  • If your child doesn’t use her time wisely and puts her schoolwork off to concentrate on her social life or after-school activities–and if her grades are showing this–gently prod her to get back to business
  • When School is Scary
  • Besides bullying (a longtime but nonetheless devestating concern), a serious issue facing many schools today is the presence of violence and atmosphere of fear
  • Many schools have instituted a policy of zero tolerance when it comes to guns (and drugs).
  • Preventing and Dealing with Burnout
  • School pressure can come from teachers and parents, and it can also come from the child herself. Some pressure is good—it keeps a teen’s eye on the prize at the end of four years: The college of her choice.
  • But too much pressure, whether it comes from an adult or the child, is counterproductive and will lead to burnout. Make sure your teen balances her schoolwork and her life outside it, and remind her that these overwhelming years are a transition into adulthood.
  • Alternative School Programs
  • If your child is one of the thousands of kids who just doesn’t seem to be able to handle school, it isn’t the end of the world. Talk to your teen about the consequences of dropping out, and if all else fails try to find an alternative program

Quick Efficient Exercises

shared by Aninder S on 08 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • There are certain exercises and combinations of exercises that burn calories faster than others. If you only have 30 minutes to work out, walking on a treadmill is probably not the best way to burn off that box of cookies from last nigh
  • which exercises are the quickest calorie burners and the fastest routes to a healthy and fit body?
  • 1. Running
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • 2. Rowing
  • 3. Swimming
  • Not only do these three exercises burn the most calories in 30 minutes (avg. 300 for a 145 pound person), but they also build muscle and tone your entire body
  • Walking, biking and even using the elliptical trainer will not work your body as hard or as well, because those exercises target your lower body and leave your upper body hanging out and doin’ nothing.
  • If you don’t even have 30 minutes in your action-packed schedule to get to the gym, try jumping rope
  • but 10 minutes of jumping rope can burn up to 200 calories
  • It is really easy to find excuses not to work out, but try and squeeze these exercises into your day. You’ll feel better, look better, and give yourself a much needed break from catching up on all the reading you’re somehow already behind on even though it’s only the first day of class.

7 Effective Exercises

  • Who doesn't want firm, flat abs?
  • begin lying on your back with feet flat on the floor and fingertips supporting your head.
  • Be careful not to pull your neck forward by sticking the chin out
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • don't hold your breath, and keep elbows out of your line of vision to keep chest and shoulders open.
  • take the standard crunch and rotate the spine toward one side as you curl off the floor
  • "It's really important that the twist comes first because then it's the obliques that are actually getting you up."
  • Burning belly fat requires the well-known formula: using up more calories than you take in.
  • work the ab muscles
  • Bent-over Row
  • Technique
  • the question is not so much whether the exercise works as how well you execute.
  • "Done with good technique, all exercises do what they're supposed to do,"
  • 6. Abdominal Crunches
  • Crunches can be excellent, but if they're not done correctly, with the back arching, they can actually weaken the abdominals," Petersen says.
  • The trouble is that poor form can change the whole exercise, putting emphasis or even strain on different areas than intended. This can hurt, rather than help you.
  • Here's how to do it with good form. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, then bend knees and flex forward at the hips. (If you have trouble doing this exercise standing up, support your weight by sitting on an incline bench, facing backward.) Tilt your pelvis slightly forward, engage the abdominals, and extend your upper spine to add support. Hold dumbbells or barbell beneath the shoulders with hands about shoulder-width apart. Flex your elbows, and lift both hands toward the sides of your body. Pause, then slowly lower hands to the starting position. (Beginners should perform the move without weights.)

University Teens Exercise

  • The amount of regular exercise teens get drops off severely once they enter college, especially among males, researchers in Canada say.
  • 24 percent decrease in physical activity during the 12 years from adolescence to early adulthood
  • The steepest declines were among young men entering university or college.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Using data from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey, the researchers tracked 683 Canadian adolescents ages 12-15, who were interviewed twice a year until they were ages 24-27.
  • This is a critical period, as the changes in physical activity during the transition from late adolescence to early adulthood represents the most dramatic declines in physical activity across a person's life
  • The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found the rate of decline in physical activity was greater for men than for women, who showed only a modest 1.7 per cent decrease in their overall activity levels
  • "It may be that girls experience the greatest declines in physical activity earlier in their adolescence
