Parenting Tip # 197
Stay very close to your child. Children who feel connected are less apt to be involved with drugs, alcohol, premarital sex, interpersonal violence, and have less suicidal thoughts. Work continuously to build a strong relationship with your child. Offer generous attention, acceptance, affection, and love.Parenting Today's Adolescent: Helping Your Child Avoid the Traps of the Preteen and Teen Years Copyright 1998 by Dennis and Barbara Rainey.
