Mid-Summer Sleepover Party

Tuesday June 30, 2009

Is your teen missing their friends? While summer is fun, school is the ultimate hangout for many teens and their social life goes down the drain if they live too far out of town. You can help teens keep in touch with their friends by offering to host a get-together. And if you're feeling vivacious, why not a teen sleepover? Here are a few tips:

Snacks and good food are always a must. Smoothies are a hit in the summertime.
Want to keep the house clean? Set up tents in the backyard for the teen overnight.
Activities for teens in the summer can be as simple as providing water balloons or other water game supplies. Ask your teen what they would like to do and offer a few ideas if they are unsure.
All in all you want to help your teen have a fun time, but also a safe time. Be sure to talk to your teen about no alcohol or drugs being allowed at the sleep over.
Last but not least, chaperon, but don't hover. Allow the teens to enjoy the time you have set up for them.
