Many high school students with tremendous potential lack the focus and motivation to do their best work, leaving their parents frustrated and concerned. In this video we'll look at how to handle underachieving teenagers. First, we'll consider why a toptier university might not be the best choice for a student who isn't a true academic scholar, and why reaching too high might actually prove detrimental to their career. In this case, they'll want to target a school that's not the most competitive, but that's the best fit for them. Then, we'll look at how you can help your teen put their high school career in perspective, so that they begin to see high school as an important stepping stone or launching pad for the rest of their lives and that all the work they do now will prove beneficial down the line.
