Friday Focus - Special Communication to Parents
Have you seen our signs by the pickup/drop off entrance of our school? "Talk They Hear You" Is a national campaign that empowers and reminds parents to talk to their children about the dangers of underage drinking. Although it may not seem like it, when parents talk about underage drinking, their children do hear them. The “Talk They Hear You” campaign is provided to us by the Link Together Coalition to:
· Equip parents with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to prevent underage drinking
· Increase parents’ actions to prevent underage drinking
Three out of four youth say parents are the number one influence in their life when it comes to making decisions about drinking, however 45% of our teens say their parents have “not talked to them” or they “do not remember having a conversation” about not using alcohol.* Starting the conversation can be challenging!
