Not to be mistaken with “The Deadliest Catch” on Discovery.
This season is the Prom, and Graduation season for our kids, and us. According to folks who gather information out there, more kids are killed in automobile accidents in June, July, and August than any other time.
During this time our kids have the most time on their hands. They are traveling with their friends going to and from shopping, movies, amusement parks, work. And the more time they spend behind the wheel, the more danger they are in.
Scary words, and I am trying to scare you. Now is the time to be talking to your kids about drinking and driving. About not riding with someone who has been drinking, or taking drugs. Tell your kids to call you, tell them that they are more precious to you than a couple of hours of sleep. Tell them that you won’t make a big deal about it at the time. That can wait until later.
Tell them you love them, and you want them safe.
Make this vacation season a time they will never forget. Not one that you wish you could.
Namaste.
