via Washington Times: 1) Keep lines of communication open with your children. 2) Stay connected (without micromanaging), and, especially, keep Dad engaged. 3) Set good personal examples; model the behaviors you want to see. 4) Set reasonable rules and enforce them without being punitive. 5) Know where your children are and who their friends are. 6) Eat dinner together regularly. Sharing good food is certainly wonderful, but the “magic” in eating together stems from the undivided attention and “face time” it creates for everyone. 7) Cultivate a religious life as a family. 8) Stay connected to a larger community.
