If so, how? • You are your child’s biggest influence. Make sure they know how you feel and what you think about choices they may face. • Talking about making healthy decisions BEFORE the opportunity arises is helpful. • Open your home to your student’s friends and help create safe ‘hang outs.’ Remember: One of the most effective ways to show love is to listen.

  19. Possible Phrases • What are some of your favorite phrases? • “ I love you too much to ignore this problem.” • “I am going to do everything I can to keep you safe knowing that you are ultimately the one who has to make good decisions” • “I made choices that I regret and I didn’t have anyone I could trust to talk to. I hope that you can talk with me about hard decisions you have to make and the mistakes that sometimes come with them.” -then be ready to hear this information! • “Because I love you, I have to do my job as a parent to do everything I can to keep you healthy and safe, even when it is hard for both of us.”
