Help your kids say no to alcohol

It is unfortunately inevitable that at some point your child will be confronted with making a decision about drinking alcohol, and he may be caught off guard. He could be trying hard to fit in with a cool crowd and it's possible that he'll have trouble thinking up good responses from scratch. He will need some answers at the ready. He will need you.

So what can you do? Talk. Talk. Talk. Talk early and talk often. 65% of kids identify parents as the leading influence in their decision not to drink. Our Ask, Listen, Learn program can help you start this extremely important conversation.

How do you get started?

Initiate the conversation. It's never too early to start. Not sure where to start? Download our Ask, Listen, Learn Parents Brochure [1] - it will not only help you start the conversation but it will also help you answer some of the tough questions your kids might ask.

Visit www.asklistenlearnparents.com [2] and sit down with your kids and visit www.asklistenlearn.com [3]. It's innovative and it's fun. Plus it will give you something to talk about!
