[quote=Anonymous]My 14-year old 8th grader is very responsible and I trust her. However, I know that she will eventually be tempted to experiment with alcohol and maybe drugs—just like I was as a (good kid) teenager—and I want her to 1) consider the safety of her surroundings and the people she’s with before she does, 2) never drive or get in a car with people who may be impaired and 3) not do permanent damage to her health (meaning not drinking to blackout, and no pills). I was thinking about telling her those rules and that she can call me to pick her up at any time and I won’t get mad. Has any one successfully navigated this “experimenting with alcohol and/or pot is inevitable for teenagers” approach? I’m not interested in debating the legality or morality of alcohol and drug use. Of course I talk to my kids about the dangers, too, but I also don’t want to hide my head in the sand and pretend that my kid won’t do it—I want to make sure she’s safe. [/quote]
