14. Encourage Your Daughter to Value Education
Explain the importance of a good education as a way to open doors for the future. Teens tend to get wrapped up in the moment—make sure your daughter understands that she has a great future ahead of her so that she will start to work hard now to achieve success. Plus, when she is focused on her studies she will have less time to focus on boys.
15. Know What your Kids are Doing Online
We’re not suggesting snooping, per se, but you have to be aware of how your kids are using technology. If you want to be involved in preventing teen pregnancy, know what they are doing online when you’re not watching, and with whom they are texting when they are glued to their phones. And then be sure to communicate your values so that they aren’t relying on what they see in the media to make smart decisions.
