The National Trauma Society (NTS) is raising awareness regarding the negative consequences of underage drinking. The NTS reported startling statistics in that more than 45% of students drank alcohol in the last 30 days; 26% of students engage in binge-drinking; and 11% of students drove after drinking.
It is suggested that parents' ask the 4 W's:
- Where will you be?
- Who will you be with?
- What will you be doing?
- When will you be home?
It is suggested that parents keep an open line of communication with their children regarding substance use. Also, talk to your children about peer pressure and what are characteristics of a good friend. Listen to your children and model by example. Be patient, understanding and reasonable with your children.
The intent is to teach children to act responsibly!
