NACoA’s Parents Guide: Talking to Kids and Teens About Alcohol and Other Substances provides guidance to help families have supportive, age-appropriate conversations with their children. With helpful recommendations and additional resources, parents and other caring adults who want to help kids and teens be knowledgeable and safe about alcohol can feel better about these conversations. The American Academy of Pediatrics assures: “Kids care very much about what their parents think—and are much more open to talking about alcohol use than you might imagine. In fact, research shows that parents are the #1 reason kids decide not to drink.”
