Should I get involved in my child's social life at school?

Harvey Hoyo (President, California School Counselors Association) gives expert video advice on: Should I buy clothes for my child so he can dress like his peers?; How do I help my child resist peer pressure at school? and more...

Absolutely! A good parent always involves themselves with their child's social life. The question is how much you involve yourself so that you can adequately monitor that. As long as you're getting a sense if that is an appropriate activity, if everything is fine and if the situation is safe. If not, then you can take appropriate action. In general, the answer is yes. Involve yourself in those actives as appropriate.
