It’s summer and your tweens and teens are itching for a little more freedom. But before you send them out of the house, set down a few common sense rules!

• Be aware of your surroundings, so no texting or iPod.

• Do not approach an unknown adult who is signaling you to come toward him (especially if he’s in a car).

• When riding your bike, observe the rules of the road.

• Walk in groups, if possible.

• No drinking and driving or getting in the car with someone who has. Ever.

• Always let someone know where you are at all times. 

Let’s have a summer to remember – but only good things!
