Talk to kids about underage drinking
To the editor:
As the school year comes to a close, prom and graduation will be here before you know it! While teenagers are focused on the photos, matching attire and dinner plans, it can be easy for parents to forget about the importance of meaningful conversations about the risks of underage drinking.
Unsure about how to start the conversation? While there’s no one way to talk with your teen, “Family Talk About Drinking” can help guide you — it’s a free resource for parents designed to encourage open and honest communication with children of all ages about alcohol use, underage drinking, boundaries and responsible choices.
Here’s where you can find “Family Talk About Drinking” resources online to help start these important conversations:
