MADD launches The Power of Parents, It's Your Influence www.thepowerofparents.org

From their Twitter Page:

MADD launches The Power of Parents, It's Your Influence www.thepowerofparents.org

The premise is that parents need to be prepared about how they will talk to their children about alcohol use. Of course, our theory is "Why bother with alcohol?".

From www.jointogether.org:

A GfK Roper Youth Report showed 74% of kids (age 8-17) said their parents are the leading influence on their decisions about drinking. Data also shows that a zero tolerance message from parents to teens is the most effective in deterring underage drinking and it also supports the lifesaving 21 drinking age law, which is in all 50 states. (View the multimedia news release)

The point here is TALK TO YOUR CHILDREN because they stand a really good chance of listening to you.
