The goal is to KEEP THEM SAFE. Don’t leave them alone, reduce their access to lethal means, and if necessary, accompany them to mental health services or an emergency room. #suicide prevention #teenhealth #charlotte #parenting

When asked who has the greatest influence on a teen’s decision about underage drinking, teens credit their parents with being most important in their decision-making. #TeenHealthConnection #teen #charlotteteen #Parenting #ActiveParenting #Parentsofteens #Summersafety

The leading cause of death in teens is unintentional injuries. Unintentional injuries are typically preventable. Consider talking with your teen about important safety precautions to take to ensure their safety. #TeenHealthConnection #charlotteteen #Parenting #ActiveParenting

Your teen needs at least 60 hours of supervised practice to get a license. Prepare your teen driver by practicing on a variety of roads, routes, and conditions. #TeenHealthConnection #Parenting #Parentsofteens #SafeDrivingMonth #TeenDriver

Driving is an important and potentially dangerous activity that requires attention and focus from the driver at all times. Please pull off the road to talk or text on your phone. #TeenHealthConnection #Parenting #Parentsofteens #PrepareYourTeenDriver #SafeDrivingMonth #TeenDriver

Teens are more willing to talk to parents who are good listeners. Good listening involves trying to see things from your child's perspective. #BehavioralHealthAwarenessMonth #BreakTheStigma #TeenHealthConnection #ParentingTeens

The research is clear; exercise improves overall health. Parents, one of the best ways to get your teen to work out is to show them your own discipline and results. #BehavioralHealthAwarenessMonth #BreakTheStigma #TeenHealthConnection #ParentingTeens
