How do I provide guidance to my student when his parents can't help show support themselves. I do not know how to appreciate the situation without the student feeling cornered. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am not sure if his student is of legal age to smoke but either way it can be a sticky situation to address. If the student is legally old enough there is not much you can do other than talk to the student and provide information about smoking and the effects of smoking. You could have the school nurse talk to this student to give accurate information and come from another perspective. I would be sure to mention hat there is no judejement that you are just concerned for their health. I would use positive language.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think that providing as much information as possible and creating open and supportive comunincation can go a long way with these students.
