Talk with your teen
-Regularly, not once a year at prom time
-Set the rules clearly and provide consequences
-Explain why you want them to delay alcohol use
-Expect them to avoid risky situations and unsupervised parties
-Give them an excuse to resist peer pressure by blaming their refusal on you
Monitor your Teen
- Ask questions before and after social events
-Get to know your child’s friends and the parents of their friends
-Occasionally check to see that they are where they say and watch for signs of drinking when they return
-Teach them how to have fun without drinking
