Many teenagers today find it difficult to balance the demands of their study at school and the share of household chores at home What do you think are the causes of this situation and what can family members do to reduce the problem

you can help boost your teen's attention span, concentration, and memory by providing breakfast foods that are rich in whole grains, fiber, and protein, as well as low in added sugar. if your teen is running late some mornings, send along fresh fruit, nuts, yogurt, or a peanut butter and banana sandwich. many schools provide nutritious breakfast options before the first bell.

Lack of sleep is linked to decreased attentiveness, decreased short-term memory, inconsistent performance, and delayed response time.

Most teens also have sleep-problems a change in their sleep patterns, with their bodies telling them to stay up later at night and wake up later in the morning. Ideally, teens should try to go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. you can help by reminding your teen before bedtime to turn off the phone and limit video games and TV. napping during the day can also push bedtimes back, so it's best if teens don't nap after school. many teens try to catch up on sleep on weekends. but try to keep your teen's sleep and wake times within 2 hours of what they are during the week.
