Parental Involvement Reduces Risk-Taking in Teens
In a recent press-release, the Office of National Drug Control Policy cited a study that points out the correlation between parental involvement and teen risk-taking. The study specifically names teen drug usage and sexual activity, both of which are lower in teens who have more involved parents. This involvement requires a "balanced" style where parents are "warm, and involved, firm in setting limits, and show respect for their teen."
