• Encourage them to practice good sportsmanship at all times.What should you do if you think your teen has aconcussion?1. Keep your teen out of play. If your teen has a concussion,

her/his brain needs time to heal. Don't let your teen return toplay the day of the injury and until a health care professional,experienced in evaluating for concussion, says your teen issymptom-free and it's OK to return to play. A repeatconcussion that occurs before the brain recovers from the first- usually within a short period of time (hours, days, or weeks) -can slow recovery or increase the likelihood of having long-term problems.

3. Teach your teen that it's not smart to play with aconcussion. Rest Is key after a concussion. Sometimesathletes wrongly believe that it shows strength and courage toplay injured. Discourage others from pressuring injuredathletes to play. Don't let your teen convince you that s/he is"just fine".

4. Tell all of your teen's coaches and the student's schoolnurse about ANY concussion. Coaches, school nurses, andother school staff should know if your teen has ever had aconcussion. Your teen may need to limit activities while s/he isrecovering from a concussion. Things such as studying,driving, working on a computer, playing video games, orexercising may cause concussion symptoms to reappear or getworse. Talk to your health care professional, as well as yourteen's coaches, school nurse, and teachers. If needed, theycan help adjust your teen's school activities during her/hisrecovery.
