GOOD ADVICE
While it is
important to allow teens to make their voices heard when it comes to party
planning, there still exist moments in which parents needs to step in and make
important decisions. A major concern for many parents who are planning a
graduation party is how to set rules. Make it clear to guests what is allowed
in one’s home. Don’t allow teen to come and go from the party. This will
prevent one from being held responsible for anything that might happen while
the teen is gone, include drinking.
While trust and communication are imperative in a parent- child
relationship, being labeled a “cool “Parent is not ideal, or necessary. Don’t give in temptation by
allowing teens to drink at the party. It is, after all illegal.
During the
party, allow the teens enough privacy to relax and have fun, but check in on
them regularly to make sure everything is going well and the teen are behaving.
Provide some activities, to keep guest occupied and not bored. (Volley ball,
horse shoes, games all ages can play.
Be mindful
of curfew laws in the area, and obtain contact information in case teen guests
plan to stay over.
