Try to talk to Your children as much as you can, keeping the lines of communication open with your children and teens is an important step to keeping involved in their schoolwork, friends, and activities. Always ask open-ended questions and use phrases such as "tell me more" and "what do you think?" This will show your children that you are listening and that you want to hear more about their opinions, ideas, and how they view the world. Always start important discussions with your children about violence, smoking, drugs, sex, drinking, even if the topics are difficult or embarrassing. Never wait for your children or teens to come to you. Do set clear rules and limits for your children, children need clearly defined rules and limits set for them so that they know what is expected of them and the consequences for not complying, when setting family rules and limits, be sure children understand the purpose behind the rules and be consistent in enforcing them.
