Listen on a deeper level to establish trust before trying to take on your children's questions and concerns.
Learn to ask open-ended questions to truly connect on a more personal and impactful level with kids about underage drinking.
Believe that parenting is the greatest influence against underage drinking and continue to be a positive romodel to your children.
Create clear boundaries and consequences around underage drinking to increase your teenager's level of understanding.
Children aged 1-7 need their parent to be a teacher. Someone to explain and guide them through a complex world they don't fully understand.
Children aged 8-13 need their parent to be a facilitator. Someone to foster underage drinking conversations and help them process situations within the right context.
From ages 14-21+, children develop a strong sense of self. Now the parent's role is to respect independence, stay involved, and coach them into being responsible young adults.
