Keeping teenagers safe and healthy is mostly a matter of encouraging healthy choices and personal safety.
- Encourage your teen to maintain healthy eating habits and an active lifestyle.
- Talk to your teen about how she can balance independence and risk-taking with personal safety.
- Honest, open communication is the key to helping your teen make informed decisions about smoking, alcohol, and drugs.
- Helping your teen build self-esteem through competence, good decision-making skills, and emotional resilience is the best way to prevent emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.
