Prom Safety Tips

Written By: Maureen C. Gharrity Posted: May 6, 2011 at 8:41 pm

Prom Season is about to begin and usually lasts for the month of May. It is an event most teenagers look forward to. It can be fun for parents to be involved in the planning and even in the event itself. I thought it valuable to share some of the ways we can help make it a safe and enjoyable time. These are just some of the things that need to be discussed with your teen.

Talk with your teen about their schedule for the evening. I suggest doing this before the day of the prom to avoid any conflicts on the actual day. It is important for you as parents to know the details of the evening. How they will be getting to prom, where they will be going before and after.

Discuss expectations or rules for the day. Having a discussion about what you expect including curfew will be helpful for all of you. Prom night usually is when teens have a later curfew, making it much more important to know their plans.

Discuss transportation and make sure that someone will be a safe, responsible driver. That means no drinking, drugs or really unsafe driving. Some teens opt to take a limo so more of their friends can ride together and so that you know you have a responsible driver, especially late at night.

Be very clear about not getting in the car with someone who has been drinking or is having trouble staying awake. Be very clear on what you want your teen to do in this situation. Perhaps you agree that they can call you at any time for a ride.
