WEST RIVER VALLEY THRIVES:
Graduation Message from WRVT:
High School Graduation is coming up soon! In this time of accomplishment and celebration, West River Valley Thrives would like to encourage and support responsible parenting. It’s not easy being a parent in today’s world, but it’s an important job. We hope you find the following tips helpful in keeping your child safe, healthy, and supported:
The Graduation season is an exciting time for teens, but sometimes it can also be stressful so…
· I will help my teen to balance the responsibilities and celebrations.
· I will check in on their stress level, plan some downtime and make sure we have time to connect. I will be a parent, not a BFF.
Because teens thrive with clear and consistent expectations…
· I will talk to my teen about my expectations around underage drinking, and…
· I will make sure I know where they are, who they are with, and how they’re getting to and from parties. I will be a parent, not a BFF.
Because teens can sometimes take risks I want to make sure they’re safe so…
· I will talk to my teen about the risks of underage drinking.
· I will make sure all parties include adult supervision because I am a parent, not a BFF.
