Even the most confident and seasoned parents can be shaken by the pressures to allow your teenager to feel the thrill of freedom and the need to make sure your child makes good decisions about driving, alcohol, drugs, and sex.
Delcioppo was so nervous about her teenage son getting behind the wheel, she looked for programs on car safety and ended up helping to get the Live at 25 program to Wando High School to help students make better decisions behind the wheel. Live at 25 is a four-hour program that Wando students must complete to get a parking spot on campus starting this year. Delcioppo says she hopes students will apply what they learn about risky behaviors to prom, too.
And that means if you approach prom night and all the other opportunities teenagers have to get into trouble in the right way, you can save both of you a lot of heartache.
Donovan should know. She also says that around 90 percent of the parents she coaches have teenagers at home. And how do you do so in a way that shows your concern but also respects that your child is growing up?
The earlier you start talking about these topics and laying the groundwork for what kinds of behaviors are acceptable, the better, Donovan says.
But it does mean answering questions as they come up in an age-appropriate way so your child knows from the start that you are their go-to for these topics. This also means you start laying a foundation for your children at a young age that you set rules to keep them safe, and you expect them to follow those rules.
Teenagers need guidance and boundaries so that they understand the importance of avoiding risky behavior and making impulsive decisions. If allowing your child to spend the night after prom in a home with no adult supervision goes against the values you want to teach your teenager, set that boundary with confidence, says Donovan. Not only do teens ignore lectures, this approach can often backfire since lectures make many kids want to rebel even more.
Use your own experiences and the experiences of people you know to break the ice, and then ask your child what he or she thinks. Graduates may remove masks when leaving their seats to receive diplomas.
