In a dangerous world.All of the images you see here are dangers and distractions that contribute to poor decision making by teens. These dangers and distractions take away from potential success. So.....what to do as a parent? you may not like what I have to say....let's see.
* Mixed message when parents pull kids out of school for vacations.
* Teens who feel connected to their parents are more likely to have their first sexual experience later than teens who do not feel a connection.
Set the rules, hold fast, put consequences in place when necessary.Oldest trick in the book Main Line Paradigm-Do not turn your head or take the "boys will be boys" or "isn't that what all teenagers do".Tell the Kelly Story. Be the parent, not the friend.........you can be your kids friend when they graduate from college.
