Get to know the children - and the families who influence your children
Plan activities with your kids and their friends. Have them over for dinner, or take them to the movies or ice skating. According to Alex A. Lluch, author of Simple Principles to Raise a Successful Child and Simple Principles to Excel at School, becoming familiar and friendly with other parents will help you feel more comfortable that your child is making good choices. Seek out parents with your same standards and values.
