THE SAFE HOMES PLEDGE
-
I will actively supervise all gatherings of youth in our home or on our property, or ask another responsible adult for help to do so.
-
I will not allow the possession or use of alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs by youth in our home or on our property.
-
I will set expectations for my children by knowing where they are going, whom they are with, what they are doing, and when they are to return home.
-
I will welcome phone calls about activities taking place in my home and on my property.
This is not a legally binding contract, but rather an agreement between members of the Safe Homes Parent Network.

If you are a parent who feels at a loss as to what to say when it comes to talking to your teens about alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, then you may want to access the "Your Child Didn't Come with an Owner's Manual" Parent Kit.
