The 15+ Make Time to Listen...Take Time to Talk campaign is based on the premise that parents who talk with their children about what is happening in their lives are better able to guide their children toward more positive, skill-enhancing activities and friendships. The campaign provides practical guidance for parents and caregivers on how to strengthen their relationship with their children by spending at least 15 minutes of daily, undivided time with them and focusing on them.

Featured Initiative:

About Bullying is part of the 15+ Make Time to Listen… Take Time to Talk initiative to promote healthy child development and to prevent youth and school-based violence.
