House Rules

Suggested House Rules for Teens

Encourage supervised group activities. Know and support the groups your teen participates in.
Set an age for dating. Be clear that there will be no dating before this age.
Make it clear that your teen will not date anyone more than two years older or younger than he or she is.
Make sure that your teen is not spending a lot of time in unsupervised situations. Sports, tutoring, and even after-school jobs are positive ways to ensure that your teen is safe and productive during the after-school hours.
Tell your teen that it is against the rules to entertain a boyfriend or girlfriend in personal spaces like bedrooms.
Set clear guidelines for your teens' outings: Where will you be? What will you be doing? Who will you be with?
No alcohol. No drugs. No tobacco.
Be available to pick up your teen if he or she calls in an uncomfortable or threatening environment or situation.
Set rules for what your teen can listen to, read, and watch. Consider keeping televisions and computers in common areas of your home.
Be available to talk with your teen daily. Good communication supports good decisions.
