Be a Role Model.
Even when you think they’re not watching, they are. Even when they no longer think you are a ‘cool’ parent, they are watching. Do your best to lead by example both inside and outside of the home. This includes other adults and community members. Share your views with key adults in your teen’s life and ask for their help reinforcing your expectations.

Parents, talk to your kids about alcohol. Some approaches include:
Talk about YOUR beliefs and why you feel strongly about them.
Talk through your youth’s thoughts and knowledge around substances, which can also offer opportunities to learn together.
Share your clear expectations for their behavior and substance use, including consequences.
Set a “safe” plan where if your youth ever gets into a situation where they feel unsafe, they can call you to come and get them.
This lets them know that SAFETY is the most important thing.
You can then both have a time for explanation and cooling off before exacting consequences.
Talk through peer refusal strategies so they can have a plan when faced with these risky situations.
