Bringing Up Children

Nov 27, 2000

Family is the #1 deterrent to your child joining a gang.
Make sure your kids feel like they belong at home.
Have agreed upon limits and consequences.
Teach them to set achievable goals-this builds self esteem.
Give them age appropriate responsibilities at home.
Show interest in your child?’s interests and talents.
Discuss the difference between TV and real life.
Know how they?’re doing in school. Know their teachers.
Know where your kids are, who they are with, and what they are doing.
Encourage them not to go to parties where alcohol or drugs are being used. This is a dangerous environment where they could become injured or killed just be being there.
