Celebrations, partying and socialising are a fundamental rite of passage and one of the most important aspects of a young person\u2019s life. However, it is possible for the best young person to get carried away by their peers and the euphoria of the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For parents and caregivers, keeping your young person safe can at times feel daunting and is often a compromise and a challenge. Most teenagers try to do the right thing most of the time, but your leadership as a role model is crucial. Your child may appear to be physically large and mature, but this is not necessarily matched by their emotional maturity and responsibility in behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every party has the potential to get out-of-hand as sometimes it\u2019s hard for young partygoers to make good decisions. Communication and regular discussions are vital, particularly because young people are often faced with peer pressure to do things they prefer not to engage in. Hosting a celebration at home or at a venue can be a fun and memorable event but it is important to agree on the ground rules well before your event is announced to ensure there are no misunderstandings later on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If hosting an event, you owe your guests a \u2018duty-of-care\u2019 and should ensure all reasonable steps are taken to keep partygoers safe. This Special Report provides caregivers with list of things to consider when planning a celebration.=<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We hope you take time to reflect on the information offered in this edition of SchoolTV and we always welcome your feedback.
