Keep your child alcohol free in three easy steps:

*Bonding: Children who feel close to their parents are less likely to drink.
  • Eat dinner together
  • Ask about school
  • Have family Fun
  *Boundaries: Parents need to set clear rules and expectations about no underage drinking.
  •  Set rules early
  •  Be clear – NO alcohol
  •  Remind kids regularly
 *Monitoring Knowing where your children are, who they're with and what they are doing.
  • Meet all friends
  • Drop by unannounced
  • Call or text
