[quote=Anonymous]You could also consider this a test run. If you have a strong relationship with your kid, you could talk about what happened afterward and how he felt he handled it. As PP said, peer pressure will be intense and he may do things just because of that. Hopefully nothing that causes extended consequences, but you could talk about how to say no without feeling left out, how to step in when things g off the rails, how to protect less assertive friends. The news is full of stories about college parties gone wrong. Use this as a chance to educate your kid about what to do if that ever happens to him, using hopefully much more minor examples from beach week. [/quote]
