If your children choose friends that are mostly from gangs, then your children are probably involved or will become involved in one also. Occupy our children's free time. Give them responsibilities at home. Get them involved in after school sports, city recreation or church activities. Develop good communication with your children.
Good communication is open, frequent and it takes on a positive tone.
It allows our children to come to you to discuss any topic or problem. It does not condemn or put down. Good communication allows you to tell your children that you love them. Spend time with your children. Plan activities that the whole family can enjoy.
