Ah yes, your daughter dating what you consider to be the wrong guy. So what do you do if you feel like your kid is hanging out with toxic friends? Behavioral Pediatrician Dr. Tim Jordan has some suggestions:
Establish a relationship with your child Don't be judgmental of your child or their friends Listen to your child and ask them why they are hanging out with this particular friend...what it is they like about them.
Ask questions: How can they hang out with this "friend" and not get sucked into doing bad things?
Look for signs - grades going down, attitudes getting worse, motivation drops, finding themselves in trouble. Teach kids to earn more freedoms with behavior that is trustworthy
