"Would you know the signs of a teen in trouble?" asks Dr. Fioriello, who has spent 25 years in K-12 education and is now coaching teachers and providing resources for school systems and parents.

"Now, you can make that happen with a good basic understanding of the school - how grades are calculated, what classes are required for graduation, and how to take advantage of special classes. The more you understand the problems faced by teenagers, the more effective you will be in guiding your child to future success," explains Dr. Fioriello.
