Teenagers face some unique problems in finding employment: they may not have transportation, they may not be old enough or they may not have a schedule that fits the job. So many teens get frustrated in their search. Many of them get easily bored working a fast food restaurant or drug store which is where so many of them wind up. With a little creative thinking though and some focus on what they like to do, cool jobs for teenagers becomes a reality.

Need Money for College Tuition
In the ideal world you would have a college fund for each of your children. But how many of us actually live in an ideal world? If your a parent then your life is full of bills for braces, day care, music lesson, tutors, summer camp etc. and it can be hard to find any money to put toward that far away place called college. So you rack your brains thinking where to find money for college? Okay, here is where to find money for college:
Benefits of Family Meals
Family Eating Dinner Together
We know we should eat together as a family but it is so difficult to find the time. Is it so important? What are the benefits of family meals? Studies have shown that children who regularly interact with their parents around the dinner table have larger vocabularies, make better grades in school and are less likely to experiment with drugs or premarital sex.
Even though it seems our kids are only interested in what their peers have to say child development experts agree that, even during the teen years, the voice kids most want to hear is that of their parents. One of the benefits of family meals are that they are a great way to foster parent/child communication.

Parents of teens – listen up. College kids will be coming home next week so if your teen wants a job have them start looking now. Here are some tips that were published in the business section of our local paper:
Ask friends, teachers, family, neighbors, people at your church, any one you know. Also go out and look for help wanted signs. Many stores post them in their windows.
Talk to the high school guidance counselor. Employers and alumni often contact them when they have teen-appropriate job openings.

Part Time Jobs For Teens – Volunteer
Summer is coming and all of us working moms are wondering what to do with teens who are not old enough to work but are too old for summer camp. The last thing we want to see is them sitting home all summer plopped in front of the  computer. The last thing we want to hear is “Mom, I boooored.” So what can we do? A newspaper article in our local paper suggested part time volunteer work. This is really a great idea and I can speak from personal experience. My son has volunteered at the public library for the past two years and has loved it. My daughter was 12 when she started volunteering. She volunteered to read to the kids once a week at one of our local Head Start centers. She also really enjoyed her volunteer work and said it helped her not be so bored. There are volunteer opportunities for teens at hospitals, local humane societies and pet rescue organizations. The article in my paper suggested parents approach their local vet and ask about an internship. Find out what your child is interested in and see if there is a related volunteer opportunity.
