[quote=Anonymous]By the time my kids were 14 I had already had several discussions with them about house expectations, dating etiquette, sex risks, drugs, consent, etc. My kids' school had a speaker series when they were in middle school and every one of them said to get ahead of the problem and if you think your kid is receptive to talk with them about things like peer pressure, s#xting, cat fishing, drugs, alcohol, consent, birth control, saying no, not getting in car with a driver who is high/been drinking, no sneaking out, no lying about where they are going, curfews, no having friends over when we are not home, no taking our alcohol or prescriptions, vaping, etc.

These were not easy conversations, but I have no regrets about talking to my kids about these things by the time they were 14, because guess what. Things can be happening outside your home that you have no control over (at school, in a park, at a friend's house, etc). Unfortunately us parents don't have as much control as we would like.[/quote]
