Hello Everyone, 
How are you doing? I hope you are creating memories and enjoying every minute of the summer your family has to offer. Unfortunately, some teens struggle with their well-being and need a little help to balance it out, especially in the summertime and anytime, really. I hope you enjoy the books that I will be recommending for your teens. 
Enjoy the sun!

"Summer Into Growth: A Social-Emotional Learning Workbook for Teens"

Summer gives you something school never does — time. The question is what you do with it.

Summer Into Growth is a 35-exercise social-emotional learning workbook designed specifically for teens ages 13 to 19. Written by special education teacher and bestselling author Richard Bass, this workbook gives teens honest, practical tools to make the most of their summer — not just for fun, but for real personal growth.

Unlike workbooks that feel like homework, Summer Into Growth speaks directly to teens in a tone that is respectful, real, and free of the kind of advice that makes you roll your eyes. Every exercise is rooted in the five core SEL competencies and built around the specific challenges and opportunities that summer brings.

Opening School During a Pandemic with 3 Different Covid-19 Strains

"As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/ Is it SAFE for your kids to return to school during a pandemic? My hubby and I asked each other that same question a few days ago when we received an email about our school district's reopening plan. There are so many things at stake: economy, opening of businesses, children's mental and emotional wellness,   parent's sanity and so much more that is happening in our world right now.  To top it all off, there is a pandemic that can kill you and your immediate family ***ARGH!!!***. If you are still on the fence about what to decide, in regards to sending your children back to school, the CDC has a great checklist you can check out and make the best decision for your family.  In our case, our son is autistic as some of you may already know and our concerns will obviously not be the same as your concerns when it comes to having your child return t...

Summer Vibes.....It is Like Hades in the PNW!!

  "As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases." https://homeschoolspecneedstidbits.com/affiliate-disclosure/   It is almost August, and it is pretty hot here in the PNW! We have an excessive heat warning and my oldest just informed me that she wants to walk to the corner market for some sushi?! I am not sure where her mind is at sometimes, especially when it's this hot and she wants to go walking around. I don't get it :-O!  Anyway, we are finishing up this month with ongoing worksheets that I created in all of the subjects that my youngest struggles with and so far he is doing well. Since his birthday was on Monday (he turned 16), I said that he didn't have to do any worksheets this week to give him a break. But he still needs to attend online summer school classes (that I can't cancel, LOL!).  How are you keeping your kids busy this summer?  ~ Mom Advocate
