As your teen enters high school and expands her social circle, it is important to meet her new friends.

Offer to have a small party at your house and join the group for dinner. You can also reach out to your teen’s friends’ parents – find them at a school event or PTA meeting, soccer practice, dance rehearsal or other school-related activities.

As you establish ties with like-minded parents, you will create your own “parent community,” allowing you to collectively set and reinforce rules for your teens.

What do you think will it work?
