4 Ways to Prevent Alcohol Abuse
in Your Teen
One of the biggest is worrying about alcohol abuse raising teenagers.
Many outside influences enticing teenagers to get involved with alcohol and it’s
often hard for teens to understand the ramifications of such decisions.
Few ways you can take to keep your children safe and healthy-
1. Communicate.
2. Set boundaries.
3. Lead by example.
4. Be available.
Communicate-
1. Talking openly with your teens about what they are and are not doing is
essential.
2. It will ease your mind to be in the loop, and it will allow them to feel more
comfortable approaching you about these topics in the future.
3. Even if you don’t think your teens are involved with alcohol, the conversation
is still worth having.
Set boundaries-
1-Making your expectations known early is important when setting boundaries with
your teens.
2- It helps let them know that you’re serious and makes them readily aware of the
consequences.
3-Making rules is difficult once they’ve already been broken, and coming up with
punishments after the fact can be challenging.
Lead By Example -
1. A parent, you’re constantly teaching your teens, even if you don’t realize it.
2. If you’re heavily dependent on alcohol or if it’s a big factor in your social life, you
could be setting a detrimental example.
Be available
1. As you are talking to your teens and setting boundaries with them about
alcohol, it is vital they know you are there for them if they need help.
2. Telling them not to drink and enforcing rules upon them if they do means
nothing if they can’t call you when they’re in trouble.
