(BPT) - From the time your teen is preparing to enter high school through their senior year, encouraging their interests and expanding their horizons can lead to academic, intellectual and social growth that will serve them well in college and beyond. Using what they're curious and excited about as your springboard, you can help provide inspiring opportunities, showing them that pursuing subjects that fascinate them can lead to greater things ahead.

Pay attention to cues

Encouraging their curiosity about whatever subjects most fascinate them can help open up entirely new academic fields to explore.
