It's not just talking to them. It's also being aware of where they are, who they're with, and what's going on in their lives. I believe that the more involved you are in your children's lives the less likely they are to get into trouble. I don't mean keeping the kids busy with activities but being involved with them. Interacting with them. Also, set an example for them to look up to. The time you put into your kids is not time that is wasted!!!
