Goals and Objectives :: Goal D :: Home Involvement

Print Version

Probably the best way that parents can become involved in their children's taking action to remain free of drugs and violence is by providing good role models themselves and others. If students are to develop goals based on their vision of drug and violence free adults, it is critical that parents supply that vision. Each strategy that parents want their children to use may be matched with a strategy that parents themselves can use, for example:

• establishing and maintaining safe and healthy relationships/monitoring their children's relationships,
• explicitly setting personal goals/helping children set and achieve their personal goals,
• contributing to the community/helping children contribute to the community,
• modeling lifelong learning/emphasizing the value of their children's education.
