March 23, 2001, Newsletter Issue #33: Get Involved In Your Child’s Activities

Tip of the Week

If your child is in scouting, volunteer to be a troop leader or helper. If your child participates in sports, volunteer to help in concession stands or carpooling kids to and from practice. Attend the sporting events and cheer your child’s team on to victory. Let your child know his/her activities are important. This way you will get to meet many of their friends and can provide a positive role model. Don’t wait until your kids are teenagers to be concerned about who their friends are. Taking an active interest in your child’s activities, and meeting their friends will go a long way in helping them form good friendships. Encourage your child to invite their friends over to your house to spend time instead of them always going to someone else’s house. If your children are spending time with friends at your home, you know where they are and what they are doing. It is a good way to keep them out of questionable situations. Be an active parent by taking an interest in your child and his/her friends. Do not wait until it is too late, then they will see it as meddling.
