Stay Smart
As Reykjavík City's website for preventative work, Stay Smart shares positive messages with youth and their immediate family about spending time together and living a healthy lifestyle.
Family time is one of the most important things when it comes to children and young people's well-being. Research shows that young people who spend quality time with their parents and receive support are more likely to live healthy lifestyles.
At its core, Stay Smart encourages being smart and showing one another respect, empathy, and support.
Stay Smart supports Reykjavík City's broader effort to strengthen collaboration with parents and expand preventative education for young people, helping counter troubling trends in alcohol and drug use and violence among children.
Stay Smart is a call to the entire community to lead by good example and focus on positive time together and good communication.
Think with our hearts
It's important for youth to understand that they influence society through their behavior and actions.
Stay Smart celebrates how truly remarkable young people are. At the same time, it's important to remember that part of growing up means having a positive impact on those around us, treating people well and being kind to others.
Parenting is a responsibility where parents are at the helm. Raising an individual involves positive communication, clear messaging, giving praise, showing discipline and respecting boundaries. This way, children and young people get clear messages about their role and impact on society. Stay Smart and show each other respect, compassion and support.
Stay Smart and think with our hearts, not just our heads.
