The document provides a top ten list of strategies for parents to help their teens get off to a great start in high school. The strategies are: 1) Recognize that teens operate on a different schedule than adults and prioritize sleep and commitments accordingly. 2) Parents are responsible for any parties at their home and should avoid enabling underage drinking. 3) Set clear rules for consequences ahead of any incidents and commit to following through. 4) Seek help from experts if unsure how to have important conversations with teens. The high school years will pass quickly so parents need to stay engaged but also allow teens to learn from their mistakes with support.
