When your teenage child is going to a party, it can be a very stressful time for the parents. That is why it is important for the parents to do their due diligence before the party by knowing where the party is, who is attending and if any chaperones will be present. You also want to set some ground rules with your child on alcohol and drugs and let them know what the consequences of breaking your rules will be. Finally, make sure to have your child call you when they arrive at the party and when they are leaving.
Key Takeaways:
- Make sure that you explain to your child how you feel about drugs and alcohol and what the consequences will be if they cross that line.
- Make sure that your child has a responsible person picking them up from the party so that they can get home safely.
- If your child is driving to the party, make sure that they call you when they arrive and also call you as they leave the party.
