How To Host a Teen Party

Agree on a guest list - and don't admit party crashers.

Discuss ground rules with your child before the party.

Encourage your teen to plan the party with a responsible friend so that he or she will have support if problems arise.

Brainstorm fun activities for the party.

If a guest brings alcohol into your house, ask him or her to leave.

Serve plenty of snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.

Be visible and available - but don't join the party!
