AZ limo - parents introduce their kids to DUI introduce them to safe rides as well!!
Unknowingly, parent’s behaviors have a greater impact on teens drinking and risky behavior - more than thought before. In a recent study, children of parents who drink even occasionally influence their kids to drink and drive more than parents who do not drink at all in front of their kids.
Kids who's parents drank admitted to drinking and driving at least one time before turning 21 at a greater percentage that kids who's parents did not drink.
Surprisingly, parents have more influence than even the peers of the child. The numbers of drinking and driving went up significantly when both the parents and friends of the teen drank. And they drinking and driving went on for these individuals well into their 20s the study found.
The study concluded that efforts to prevent drinking and driving among young adults must start when the kids are younger than age 15, and that parents must be educated to the consequence of their behavior.
So you're a parent and you like to drink and throw parties at home with your friends. But because of studies like this one you might be concerned about your behavior influencing your children adversely. Best thing to do? Model safe and responsible drinking behavior to your kids – some examples:
- When you need a beer run because you ran out at the party - make it a point to have a completely sober party goer head to the store.
- Take the keys away from the attendees at the party and insist that they spend the night in the guest room.
- When you are heading out to restaurants or nightclubs make sure and book an AZ limo or take a taxicab home and talk to your child about your wise decision to avoid DUIs and keep the road safe.
Be safe, model responsible behavior to your children and get an
AZ limo instead of a DUI!
