Parents need to be more
alert and aware of what their adolescent is doing.
-
Educate your adolescent
about the use of alcohol and the long - term effects of early alcohol
use.
-
Be sure to have open communication
with your teen.
-
Do not yell at your adolescent
for using alcohol, if you find out that he or she has used it.
-
Take a walk with your adolescent
and let them know how you feel about this drug use.
-
Remember to state your
family morals and values.
-
Try not to attack the adolescent;
just state what the rules are.
-
Do not give your adolescent
alcohol to just try; chances are once they've tried it, they'll try
it again and could even become addicted.
-
Ask for outside help if
you need some.
-
Remember to show your teen
that you love him or her and make sure to continue to have a good,
open and honest relationship.
