How to Help Your Child Fix Their Problem

Of course going on some sort of reality show such as "Dr. Phil" could be some sort of option, reality is that intervention by the parent or guardian is the best bet. Personally, I would send my child to a military rehabilitation center, but that is just me and that is neither here, nor there. On a more serious note, in an article named "Adolescents at Risk: Alcohol Use", it is stated that the parents should take control and that it is their job in making sure that they stay "connected" with and staying in touch with their children. A more preventative measure would be that the parent try and portray themselves as more or a "positive" role model for the child. The article also stated that it is important that the parents have some sort of rules and guidelines in the household that can be enforced. It is also important that the parents are straight forward with their child and teach them how to stand up for themselves and either completely avoid situations of peer pressure or learn how to properlly handle them. It would also be a good idea for a parent to choose a location for their home to be as distant as possible to places that serve liquor as well as keep liquor that may be in the home, out of site and reach from your children and avoid drinking around them.
