It is great that you have that relationship with your children. It is so important to have it, keep the communication lines open and be ready to forgive them if they mess up. Great job!

Being open and honest about all subjects is important for our children. They’ll learn from us and feel comfortable coming to us when they need help.

You make a very good point about kids’ making their decisions by what they’re taught…or not taught by their parents. Talking to kids about the rougher truths and making it clear where we stand is so important on so many issues, including alcohol and drug use. I know that my parents feelings on different issues had a huge impact on my choices as a teen. I hope that my boys and I continue to be open with each other in the teen years. I’m adamant about answering their questions honestly now, and hope they continue to come to me when they’re older, knowing that I’ve always been open with them…even when it’s uncomfortable.

I think it’s very important to have open conversations with kids about things, especially alcohol. I don’t think forbidding it or threatening works, but at least discuss it and share your reasons for either doing it or not should work. Thanks for drawing attention to this day.
