How do you prepare to leave your kids at a party? ​It can be difficult for parents to gauge when they should stay at or leave another child’s birthday party. Once kids reach a certain age, they may no longer want their parents tagging along with them, but others may have fears about being on their own. Find out what activities are planned – will the kids be staying in one location or are they going multiple places? Who is the adult in charge? Assess your child’s readiness – does he or she understand the rules? For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® article “Before you drop your child off at a birthday party…” visit http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.
