How to Talk to Your Adolescent About Alcohol





Probably the best kept secret - until now - of our Fond du Lac campus library, is the Pamphlet File. Admittedly, we don't have a ton of pamphlets, but I would venture to guess that they are, as a group, the most up-to-date and probably even the most practical part of our overall collection. (Tell me if you think I'm wrong.)


Anyway, today I am promoting one particular pamphlet that was created for parents. It is called How to Talk to your Adolescent About Alcohol. In a survey of parents, 92% said this brochure helped facilitate a conversation about alcohol.
The pamphlet addresses when to have the talk about alcohol with your child and how to discuss it. It provides tips for engaging in a discussion, not a one-way lecture.


How to Talk to Your Adolescent About Alcohol helps you give your child information about how alcohol affects them. Furthermore, it can also help you to answer some of their objections, like "grown-ups drink alcohol, so why can't I?" This pamphlet even shows parents how to help their children to say "no" when offered alcohol by their peers or others.


Borrow the pamphlet today, or check out the "ask listen learn" website.
