Hobbies give teenagers more than something to do. They provide a source of enjoyment, competence, and identity beyond the pressures of school and social life.

What actually helps teens make good choices? More than anything, it’s having a strong, positive relationship with the adults who care for them.

My husband is a teacher, so I too many be biased on this issue. All the same, I'm thrilled to hear about this much-needed initiative!
My son is a teacher, which means I may be slightly biased on this issue, but it is a fact that men make up just 23% of the U.S. teaching workforce. Today, on National Teacher Appreciation Day, I'm proud to announce the launch of the Male Educator Network & Policy Institute (MEN) led by @curtiseveryday.

Welcome to what can feel like the "100 Days of May" — school events, ceremonies, spirit weeks, and exams all arriving at once, making this stretch both meaningful and exhausting. Summer is close, but there's still a lot to get through first.

As more countries consider limiting social media access for children and teens, families are left with important questions about how best to respond at home.
In partnership with @UNICEF, I’ve shared practical ways to help get that conversation started.

Adolescence intensifies emotions, and what can seem like a bump in the road to us can feel like a total derailment to our teen. We don’t want to minimize their feelings, but we may want to help them step back and gain a sense of perspective.
