]]> As parents we do whatever we can to teach our kids right from wrong. We hope that when they are presented with a situation they will make the right choice. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has launched a new resource to help parents talk to their kids about underage drinking. The Power of Parents: It’s Your Influence has been designed to help provide us as parents with key tips, information, and tools to help us at home reach our teens and communicate the real life danger of underage alcohol use.

Underage drinking has emerged as the number one youth drug problem. Roughly 6,000 people will die this year in direct correlation with underage drinking—a statistic that can be greatly reduced with parental intervention. By being an informed, caring parent you can strongly impact your teens decisions regarding alcohol; 74% of kids (age 8-17) said their parents are the leading influence on their decisions about drinking.

Get involved! Follow MADD on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook, follow the MADDParents blog and learn how to talk with your kids about underage drinking.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of MADD. A donation was made to MADD in my name to thank me for taking the time to participate.
