Spring Break for most colleges and high schools start anywhere from February until April depending on the school. This is a fun time that our unsupervised teens will be going off doing some crazy things. It’s enough to give a parent heart palpitations just thinking about it. However, there are some very good ways to keep your child safe and having a good time even if you’re not there to tuck them in at night.
Let’s look at some ways that you can help them.
- Be clear on what you expect from them, communicate this directly.
- Tell them what risks they could have if they aren’t careful
- Make sure they have emergency numbers to call (If this is an international trip, be sure to include our government offices i.e. American Embassy)
- Ask who is there travel partner and be sure to meet this person ahead of time
- Plan ahead for passports if necessary
- Keep them safe from thieves by dressing down, not wearing expensive items, and keeping their cell phones hidden.
- Pack their sunscreen
- Be sure to contact your cellular carrier to ensure their phone is set up to roam. Also, include additional calling cards with their luggage.
