As parents we have to be committed to know what’s going on in our kids’ lives. That’s not always easy. Here are a few suggestions for staying “in the know.”
- Join Facebook and make sure your kids are your friends on Facebook
- Make your house an inviting and welcoming environment for your kids’ friends
- Have real conversations with your kids…show genuine interest and don’t talk down to them or belittle what’s important to them
- Know your kid’s Facebook and/or Myspace username and password…no matter what they say, it’s not an invasion of privacy, it’s parenting
- Visit CPYU often. These guys are students of youth culture and committed to communicating youth culture to parents
What are some other ways you have stayed connected to what is going on in your teens’ lives?
