Did you know, to feel the same excitement as they did before their teenager years, teenagers need to experience a higher degree of risk, and will often seek it out?!

How you can support them

• Understand they might enjoy risky behaviours – at the same time as keeping them safe.
• Plan and encourage controlled risky activities such as skate boarding, organised off road cycling, organised high rope activities, paint balling etc.
• Talk to them about your house rules/boundaries and what is acceptable and what is not.
• Seek advice if you are concerned about illegal or dangerous behaviours.
