Schools Congregations 1. Family life provides high levels of love and support. Offer parent workshops. Sponsor family nights as part of youth programming.
Youth turn to parents for advice and support.
Ask youth every day about what they are doing and thinking about. Give youth space when they need it, but let them know that you're always available-and then be available. Teach parents how to respond appropriately when difficult issues arise. Include conversations with parents as part of homework assignments. Plan parent-teen events that get youth and adults to talk together.
