I was recentely contacted about doing a post discussing a few of the issues associated with Prom Night........
Parenting expert and Huffington Post contributor Erika Katz (bondingoverbeauty.com), who has a popular blog discussing issues of the tween and teen years, has put together her top safety tips for prom night:
- Get the phone numbers of your child’s prom date and at least 5 friends so you can reach someone. Inform your child, you expect them to answer their cell phones and texts should you call them.
- Give Your Kids a Curfew - There is nothing your kids can do after 2am that they can’t do before 2am. It’s not a trust issue, it’s a safety issue. Do you really want your kids roaming around after 2am?
- Remind your child that everyone has a camera. With cameras hidden everywhere, it is so important your child realizes not to behave in public in a way that might cause them shame if it ended up on youtube.
- Colleges can take away what they have offered. A college acceptance can be revoked for illegal behavior and for getting expelled from high school. Prom night is not Vegas. What happens on Prom night could jeopardize their future.
These are just a few of the things we should all be discussing with our kids before Prom and Graduation.

That is great advice and they safety is the most important thing.
This advice should hopefully keep them thinking and keep them safe.
