Creating a Contract for Life establishes a foundation for trust and caring. Such a contract is designed to address communication between parents and theit teens about highly risky decisions related to drugs, alcohol, related behavior, and peer pressure. Such issues are often confusing and difficult for young people to address on their own. This level of communication between parents and their child is critically important to help them make healthy decisions.

There are many options available on the Internet to create a unique Contract for Life in your family. One such sample can be found on the SADD website.

Despite the complexity and sometimes difficult discussion, this is a subject that needs to be addressed with a solution in place in the event your young person needs a safe ride home, and remember:

• Set a good example - your children are watching.

• Talk with your kids early and often about this essential topic.

• Teach your kids to listen by listening to what they say.

• Read between the lines. Your child may find it difficult to truly say what is on their mind.

• Make an extra effort to understand your teenager's friends, circumstances, and world.

• Respect your child as you want to be respected. Try to work together as partners.

• Remind your loved one that you love them and care deeply about their safety.
