Speaking of Teens
#139: Teenagers, Alcohol, Permissiveness, Parties. What Parents Need To Know
Today, I'm talking to you about your teens and alcohol. I'll answer LOTS of questions for you, including:
- Does allowing your teen or tween to have a sip of wine or beer with you, prevent them from being problem drinkers?
- Does providing a place for your teens to drink with friends, keep them safer than they would be out partying elsewhere?
- Should you expect that your teens are going to drink alcohol and try to teach them "responsible drinking"?
- Should you drink in front of your teens or keep alcohol in your home?
I cover all of this and more in today's episode.
