How to Discuss Drinking with Your Teenage Son
2
Your Son is Growing Up, and Fitting in is Hard

• Your son is still a teenager. As children reach
  adolescence, fitting in becomes vital to their
  social survival.

• Your sons growing independence, whether visible
  or not, is heavily dependent upon his outward
  opinions about alcohol.

Making a Connection Works Wonders

• Youll need to foster a personal connection with
  your son before bringing up the dangers,
  responsibilities and potential downfalls of
  alcohol consumption.

• If you approach the situation bluntly, youll
  conflict with your growing sons need to be
  understood.

4
Be Supportive, but Be Firm

• When its time to bring up alcohol, be prepared
  to give a supportive, but firm response.

• Be supportive, and let him know exposure to
  alcohol doesnt immediately put him in trouble.
  It isnt fair, anyway, to punish a child whos
  simply witnessed alcohol presentation.

5
When Facing Alcohol Abuse

• In some cases, teens fall into heavy alcohol
  abuse. If your son is struggling with alcoholism,
  legal troubles or health problems, consider
  discussing alcoholic rehab centers.

• Work with your son, not against him. Show your
  son you care about his health and help him
  understand that underage consumption can damage
  his future before it even begins.
