Many teenagers struggle at some point during their academic careers. They may have simply lost their motivation for schoolwork, preferring social time with friends over studying. Or they may be depressed, struggling to find purpose in their day-to-day lives. Some, especially younger teens, might also suffer from an undiagnosed learning disability like ADHD.
Teen school issues can affect your child’s grades, college options, and, eventually, career options. Your teen may not be able to see how a few low grades could alter the course of his or her life, or he or she may not care. Because of your experience, you can anticipate the long-term consequences. And, more importantly, because you care deeply about his or her future, with the help of Waterford Counseling Services, you can help.
