Alcohol is the most commonly used and misused drug among youth. Some report taking their first drink at age 10 or younger. For this reason, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends parents begin talking to children about alcohol at age 9 to establish a foundation for healthy habits and influence ideas about alcohol early instead of trying to change impressions later. It's best to connect with kids often through natural conversations that will evolve as your child gets older.
Prevention experts at the Partnership to End Addiction share answers to frequently-asked questions from parents and impart tips on how to talk to children about alcohol and other drugs at every age from pre-school to young adult.
