Taking a NYC limo to prom will ensure your teen has a magical evening that they will never forget.

Although prom is one of the most important night of your child’s high school life, it can be very stressful for parents considering the reputation prom nights have in the media. Many parents worry their children may be engaging in inappropriate behavior on their prom night. Here are some tips for parents to ensure their child and his or her friends will have a safe, fun prom.

• Hire a NYC limo for your child’s prom group. This will ensure that your child gets to prom safely by avoiding kids piling in an inexperienced teen’s small car, being distracted and potentially getting into an accident. Your child will not hate you for being “overprotective,” they’ll be happy to be riding to prom in style. Don’t be afraid to ask about the NYC limo driver’s driving history to make sure your kid is in safe hands.

• Make sure your child lets you know who they will be with all night, if possible get the phone numbers of the teen’s parents in case of an emergency. Get the addresses of any after-parties your child is planning to attend.

• Find out who will be supervising the prom and after-parties. Speak directly with the parents supervising after-parties that are not hosted by the school. Some parents allow underage drinking, which is why it is important to express your concerns to them so you are all on the same page.

• Consider volunteering to chaperon the prom after-party hosted by the school, to make sure there are enough responsible parents supervising.

• Make sure your teen knows how to deal with difficult situations where they may be peer pressured into trying drugs or alcohol. Explain how to handle situations the correct way until your teen is comfortable and confident. Luckily, by hiring a NYC limo, you will eliminate the problem of your child getting into a car with someone who is under the influence.

• Make sure your teen knows how to get a hold of you during the night and that they have a cell phone that’s fully charged in case of an emergency.

• Wait up for your teen so you can talk to them about their night when they get home and make sure they are home okay. Let them know you are going to wait up, this will cut the chances of your teen engaging in drinking or drugs during the night because they know they will have to come home and talk to you.

By following these tips you will greatly increase the chances of your teen having a safe night and making the right decisions on prom night while still having a fun time. Hiring a NYC limo for your teen and their group of friends is easy, call (516) 374-2545 or go online to Five Towns Limo.
