- I will be present and visible in my home and actively supervise all gatherings or parties of youth in my home or on my property. I will know who has been invited and who arrives.
- I will not allow the use of my home or property for parties or gatherings when I am not present.
- I will not serve, nor allow the possession or use of alcohol, tobacco, e-cigarettes, vapor products, marijuana or other drugs by youth in my home or on my property.
- I will provide a secure storage in my home for all forms of alcohol, prescription and over-the-counter medications, firearms and other potentially hazardous items.
- I will develop and communicate a clear “no use” position about alcohol, marijuana, tobacco and other drug use with my child. I will set expectations for my children by knowing where they are, whom they are with, what they are doing, and when they are to return home.
