Navigating parties, peer pressure, alcohol and drug is one of the biggest concerns for parents of teenagers. As the year ends, senior school leavers step into a season of celebration, and the stakes have often never felt higher for parents. By starting conversations early, educating well and keeping connection at the heart of it all, you can help guide them through this stage in their lives.
