Advice to myself when my kids are teenagers.
1. Be consistent. Be vigilant. Hold your ground!! Don't give in!!
2. Talk to them about the big issues in life and have an environment that is conducive to being open and can talk about anything! Talk about sex, alcohol, drugs, and smoking.
3. Don't turn your back on your kids. Ever. You can watch and support, but be there for them. Even when she makes bad choices.
4. Have a home where they want to be. If she always wants to be somewhere else besides home, then that's a red flag.
5. Get to know their friends and their friend's parents.
6. Pray for them and with them.
