FROM THE SUMMIT
6 Ways to Increase Confidence in Adolescents
Having confidence is a key factor in success. Confidence determines how a teen feels about themselves and how they interact with other people. Confidence "sets the stage" for how a teen will view the world and experience life. Parenting can be stressful and nobody is perfect. If you want to encourage healthy confidence in your teen, read and follow these 6 helpful tips:
- Create rules, but don't be a dictator It's important that teens have structure in their life. This encourages them to keep schedules and learn boundaries. But - don't dictate their every move. Teens need to learn to make their own decisions and set their own boundaries as well. Being overly authoritative shuts down independence and confidence!
- Celebrate them when they try something new Rewarding your teen with praise for trying something new is the best way to encourage the behavior in the future. He or she will feel acknowledged and proud for stepping outside of their comfort zone - this is where success happens!
- Express confidence instead of worry Telling your teen that you're worried about them gives him or her more reason to doubt them self. Express confidence and use encouragement instead.
- Turn mistakes into "teaching" moments Rather than criticizing or scolding your teen for a mistake, sit down with him or her and discuss what happened. Help them talk through the mistakes and problem-solve for the future.
- Encourage effort, do not criticize attempts If your teen is trying a new task or practicing skills, it is more helpful to encourage him or her and point out the good in what they are doing rather than pointing out mistakes. This teaches him or her to focus on positive things or negative things and increases confidence.
- Do not create exceptions for your child Create rules, boundaries, and guidelines for your teen. Then, enforce consequences when rules are broken and only reward behavior when necessary. Consequences teach your teen that they are not above established rules and boundaries. Making exceptions for him or her teaches feelings of entitlement and encourages the idea that they don't have to work hard for what they want and/or that rules don't apply to them.
If your teenager needs someone to talk to please call the Summit Counseling Center to make an appointment with the licensed School-based Therapists located in Milton High School by calling 678-893-5300! Article by: Julia Harris, MS, LAPC with The Summit Counseling Center

STUDENT CHECKOUT PROCEDURES
Procedure To Check a Student Out:
- The student must bring a written note from the parent or legal guardian to the attendance office in the morning to receive a pass out of class.
- This note should include the student's name, grade, reason for dismissal and the time the parent or guardian will pick the student up.
- We cannot accept phone calls or emails to check students out.
- If an early dismissal note is not provided in the morning, a student may be called to the front office for check-out only when the parent/guardian or emergency contact arrives in the front office with a government issued ID (driver's license, passport, Fulton County employee ID).
- You may be asked to wait until a class change to check out your child.
Your cooperation with this procedure is requested as it minimizes interruptions to classroom instruction.
Students will not be checked out after 3:00 PM.
