[quote=Anonymous]DW of 26 years w DC 24/20/17 Know your DC’s friends and most importantly, their parents. It absolutely can be done. Avoid the avoidant parents. Be present as a parent - attend your DC’s games, drive carpool, volunteer at school, chaperone. Be supportive and kind and not the shouty, complaining parent. Don’t allow friends to your house if you are not home, but have an open door policy when you are home. Model good behavior. DH and I aren’t showing up at games drunk or hosting pre game parties nor establishing a tailgate tradition. Also highly recommend that DC have a life beyond school, whether that be pursuing sports and/or part time employment/summer job. Don’t allow too much “free time” that involves free form hanging out with seemingly random group of unknown friends [/quote]
