If you are going on vacation, try to bring a laptop. This will keep your teen entertained on the way to your destination as well as when you get there. Try to load a couple of teen friendly games for when there are no wi-fi locations. When you reach your destination, check to see if there is internet available. If there is, you can help your teen to find a Teen Chat room. Find one you are both comfortable with; remember their safety is your priority. Also, there are gaming sites that are teen friendly. With the combination of the two it should allow you some adult time while keeping your teen out of trouble. While you have the vacation you have been waiting for the whole year round, your teens can keep in touch with friends, have fun playing games, and socialize with other teens from around the world. You will then have happy teens, and a great vacation!
If you are staying at home I recommend the same...Teens can spend sometime inside the safety of your home instead of running wild.
Keep your kids safe over these holidays and enjoy them yourself!
