Getting Good Grades: How Do You Motivate Your Teen?
Earning good grades in their high school classes is a worthy goal for teens. Good grades help empower a love of learning and make their future endeavors easier. But they do need to be earned, which is hard work. How do you motivate your teen to get their best grades possible? Read what other parents have done and share your advice.


Glee Project Winners Plus Your Teen Can Sign Up to Audition
My daughter and I both jumped for joy when we heard that both Samuel and Damian had won respective seven-episode arcs on the third season of Glee. I have to say that the last performances of all four finalists were outstanding. They performed with such confidence that their talents were showcased better than any other time this season. Way to go!

At the last minute, Ryan Murphy and crew decided to give prizes for the runners up as well. Both Lindsey and Alex will get a two-episode arc character in the show. And Cameron won the fan favorite. I'm looking forward to seeing them on the show this coming season. Their characters will all help make some interesting talks with my teens.

Does your teen have acting and singing ability? They can sign up for notification on how to audition for The Glee Project 2 on The Glee Project website. Let us know if they do!

What did you think of the last minute decision to pick more than one winner? Was it fair for all or more mixed messages? Or are you just happy you'll see all four on the show. Please let us know in the comments area.
