Safety first. It’s always a good idea to review safety rules with your kids, from wearing a seatbelt in the car to wearing a helmet when biking. Remind them to be cautious of cars, and if they drive, be more aware of the extra kids out and about during summer.  Many accidents happen right in the family driveway. Photo Credit Getty Images P.O. Box 51260 • Idaho Falls, ID Photo Source: rueziffra.com Make a list. Help avoid the “coming home arguments” with lists. It may seem simple to remember a few chores, but teens in particular can often be absent-minded. In your list include chores, studying, hygiene items, and let them know about upcoming family plans or menu options they should be aware of.  You can also make suggestions for fun options, like what’s playing at the local theater or a festival in a nearby park. 24 Burgers a Million Reasons We are 100% committed to the fight against ABUSE! 2450 East 17th - Idaho Falls, ID 208-528-8866 Plumbing & Heating Inc.
