Would You Give Your Teen a Breathalyzer Test?
29 Jul 2010 at 4:46am

I read an interesting article in the Chicago Tribune and I wondered if anyone had come across this issue. It seems parents are testing their teens with a Breathalyzer when they come home from being out with friends. I have to say I'm all for it if you have to confirm what you feel is happening. What I didn't know was "High schools have been using Breathalyzer testing for some time. Some schools make blowing into a Breathalyzer a prerequisite for students attending dances."

Really? I haven't seen this and would love to know more about it. If you've heard of this or your teen's school does it, can you share your experiences? For all others: What do you think? Leave a comment.

Poll: Would you give your teen a Breathalyzer test if you felt he was drinking?

Yes. No. It would depend on the circumstances.


See the poll results.

Water Fun Day with Teens
29 Jul 2010 at 4:35am
Have you got a group of teens who are bored? Set up a water fun day! It is really easy, only five simple steps: Gather the water game supplies. Let your teen invite friends. Go over the rules of your house once, don't harp or nag. Let them play. Offer some smoothies for snacks. Water Balloon Volleyball is one of my favorite games for summer fun with teens. You need to buy the more expensive harder-to-break balloons in order to play if you want to play the real volleyball type of game with one "ball", as they last a couple of hits before they break. But for this game, regular water balloons work very well. Here are the directions and more water games for summer fun with teenagers.

We are re-visiting this post as my submission for an All About Parenting Blog Carnival.

Money Saving Tips: Help Your Teen Plan a Wardrobe
22 Jul 2010 at 1:00am
Instead of shopping for an outfit that goes together, help your teen plan a couple of outfits that can be mixed and matched to make more combinations. They can do this by buying separates that match each other, often hitting a BOGO sale in the process. For example, a hoodie that is in a print with many colors that will match more than one top and pair of jeans - and tops are always on sale during the back to school or holiday seasons. The more your teen can mix and match their wardrobe, the less full outfits you will need to buy.
