We do not have alcohol in our home and neither my husband or I drink. We have had the alcohol discussion with our boys often, especially now that they are driving too. Drugs have devastating effects too, especially if teens get involved, it is best to recognize the problem before it’s too late and send them to drug rehab tallahassee.

Even though the lines of communication in our house are wide open, they aren’t in all houses and unfortunately a lot of parents don’t talk to their kids about the serious issues.  Nearly three out of four kids say their parents are the leading influence on their decisions about drinking, so what does being silent say to your kids? Mothers Against Drunk Driving has programs and activities to prevent underage drinking, starting with the Power of Parents program sponsored by Nationwide Insurance.

To help you get started, they have designated April 21st as PowerTalk 21® day. It’s a day for parents, kids and communities can take positive steps to open communications using the Power of Parents program and work together to end underage drinking. Click on the Power of Parents Link above and download the handbook to help you talk to your teens about under age drinking. Other solutions such as online therapy can also be utilized for situations like this one.
