Vaping

Hello! It has been awhile since I have posted anything on the blog!

For my faithful followers, I apologize. I have been using Schoology much more this year and parents now have access to that as well. So the blog was put on the back burner:(
However, there are some things that I would like to communicate with parents that are perfect for this format. Today's topic is just that.



 

Vaping

We have been blessed with a long period of time where smoking was NOT the popular thing to do. The New York Times reports that smoking was even at a 40-year low! Now, there is something new to worry about. Vaping has been around for a few years now, but it is becoming more prevalent in young people.
Below is a link to an article published by the New York Times earlier this year. It does a great job of helping with this difficult conversation, while taking the teenage mindset into consideration. Please take some time to check it out and start this conversation with your children.

Focus

Do you have trouble focusing? Here is a fun tip that ANYONE can use, at ANY TIME! All you need is a pen and 1 minute! Step 1: Find a pen or pencil. Step 2: Hold it up to your face, about 1 foot away. Step 3: Focus on the end of the pencil for 1 minute (setting a timer will help you to avoid being distracted). For this one minute of time, do not allow yourself to think about anything else! Just focus on the end of the pencil! This would be great to try before beginning your homework, studying, at the beginning of a big game or race, anytime! I would love to know what everyone thinks of this. I will be trying it also:) I challenge you to use this trick at least once this week! (It might be good to try this before or during the Math & Science testing:) One Minute Life Hack Will Make You Do Everything Better!
