Curbing Underage Drinking And Other Risky Behaviours Among Teens

Curbing underage drinking and risky behaviour among teens
is a desirable thing for parents who are truly interested in their
teenagers.

It is a fact that teens a re faced with a lot of risky behaviours
which have inn the past subjected their lives to early death.

The risky behavoiurs like drunk driving,marijuana smoking,
overdose of drug intake,illegal use of poisinous drugs that are
injurious to their body etc could be curbed as long as the
parents are ready to play their God-given roles as the
guides the childrrn are supposed to look up to in their daily life.

Parents,these days, are not so concerned about the kind of life
their children live or the type of friends they keep as weell as
the possible efects such a relationship is having on thier children.
And this is a pity indeed.

As a parent, the onus is on you to guide and guard your children
against early drinking and risky behaviours.Let them know the
dangers inherent in early drinking and the possible early death
that their risky behavoiurs potent.

I agree that there are some teenagers who may feell distrurbed
by their parents' constant supervisory roles.Such children complain
about lack of space and freedom in the house for them to be them
-selves.

But the fact is that as long as they are still under your roof,
their so-called freedom can not be total at all as you have a
responsibility as a parent to know what they are doing in your
care.

Happy Parenting...
