'Parenting through it'

Tony Myles offers some excellent advice to parents whose children will be attending a prom this year. Here's Tony:

Hey parents! It's prom night for many teens... and while it's common to let them do their thing, I want to encourage you to still parent them through it.

In other words, don't let it become a "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" night.

You're still their mom and dad, and your kids may need some extra space tonight... or they may need some extra accountability.

You'll know which one it is. But either way, don't sever the link. If they're under your household, then they're "under your household."

That's the biggest portion of Tony's article, but I still urge you to read the whole thing.
