Parental engagement makes it far more likely that our children will avoid unhealthy behaviors, such as sexual risk and substance use. โฃ
โฃ
You might be asking, how do I effectively engage with my teens? We got you covered! Here are 3 great ways you can engage as a parent.๐โฃ
โฃ
1๏ธโฃ. ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ – Teens whose parents know where they are and the people they are with are less likely to get caught up in the wrong crowd or put in unsafe situations. Remember the difference between monitoring vs. controlling, though. โฃ
โฃ
2๏ธโฃ. ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ต๐ฐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ด๐ค๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ – Teens who have talked with their parents about sex are more likely to delay having sex, and to practice safe sex when doing so. And those who have had conversations on substance abuse and drugs, are far more likely to stay away from them. โฃ
โฃ
3๏ธโฃ. ๐๐ข๐ฎ๐ช๐ญ๐บ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด – Teens who have close, stable relationships with their parents are more likely to come to them with a problem. These topics often times include: sex, alcohol, drugs, and peer pressure. Being connected to your teen helps them feel safe and heard when talking about their feelings and issues. โฃ
โฃ
Being a teen or young adult is possibly one of the most difficult, confusing times in a personโs life. As parents, we need to make sure our children are educated, and feel safe talking to us about these uncomfortable topics. โฃ
