Boundaries  


Set Clear Boundaries

Let your children know what you expect of them. Set rules. Have consequences. Be specific. Follow through.
  • Teach the risks of underage drinking. Begin early, preferably before age eight. Review the dangers of alcohol often as they grow up.
  • Brainstorm and practice ways to say, “No.” Remind them if offered alcohol they should call for a ride home.
  • Ask kids for a personal commitment to live by the rules.
  • Consistently enforce the rules by giving appropriate consequences every time.
  • Help your kids choose friends wisely—ones who support your no-alcohol rules.
