Communication
Research has shown us that as parents understand the characteristics of the drinking scene young adults will be exposed to and talk with them about healthy ways to safely navigate that scene, they can have a profound influence on their student's decisions.
If conversations do not go well, then the relationship may need to be strengthened and different communication skills attempted.

You as the parent know your student better than anyone else. You can take our strategies and adapt them specifically for your student, making the teaching more personal than we ever could as they enter the university.
