Parenting styles are importantteens raised


with a combination of encouragement,
warmth, and appropriate discipline are more
likely to respect their parents boundaries.

This shows that parents can have an influence


on whether their kids chose to respect their
parents boundaries. In a way they can control
whether they consume alcohol or not.

The percentage of teenagers who drink


This takes me by surprise. I thought for sure
alcohol is slowly declining; however, numbers that adolescent alcohol consumption has been

on the rise.
Authoritative parents exert high control and
discipline along with high warmth and
responsiveness. For example, they offer praise
for good grades and use thoughtful discipline
and guidance to help improve low grades.

This kind of parenting would seem to have the


most positive effect on kids. No just by being
strict and by showing discipline, but also by
praising them for the good that they do.

children raised by authoritative parents tend


to fare better than their peers

The studies show that this is true.

The combination of discipline and support by


authoritative parents promotes healthy
decision making about alcohol and other
potential threats to healthy development

This not only helps the child at the time but it


also helps them in the future. Whether it be a
small decision or a decision that could impact
the rest of their life.

Whether teens defer to parents on the issue


of drinking is statistically linked to how
parents parent.

The statistics show links between the teens


who said their parents shouldnt have a say in
if the drink and the way the parents parent.

Establish policies early on, and be consistent


in setting expectations and enforcing rules.
Adolescents do feel that parents should have a
say in decisions about drinking, and they
maintain this deference to parental authority
as long as they perceive the message to be
legitimate; consistency is central to
legitimacy.

If a parent does these things, studies have


shown that their children will care what their
parents have to say about drinking. They will
also respect their rules and are more likely to
listen to what they have to say about
important issues.
