Tough Talks

This weekend I saw a poster advertising talking with your kids early about drinking and alcohol. This is a tough conversation for many parents. Studies show that youth are drinking and experimenting with drugs & alcohol earlier and earlier, making it important to open the lines of communication with your 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th graders and beyond. Some websites with good information and ideas for taking with your children are: The Anti-Drug and Alcohol Information from WA State.
The Boys & Girls Club also offers a number of small groups that help educate and inform our members about drugs & alchohol, dating, respect and other issues youth today are facing.
Good luck with the talks!
