(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 24, 2012 ) WASHINGTON DC -- A study out of the Netherlands suggests that parents who have a more lax attitude toward their adolescentsÂ’ drinking actually contribute to increased underage drinking.
For years, many parents had the mindset that if they provided their underage children with alcohol in limited amounts in a social setting, the children would be less likely to seek out alcohol and experiment on their own. However, the new research published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research shows that just the opposite may be true.
The report references two tendencies: approach tendencies and reflective tendencies. Approach tendencies address the impulse to reach for a drink, while reflective tendencies are the thoughts that tell someone that perhaps itÂ’s not a good time for a drink. The study showed that parents who have a lenient attitude towards their adolescentsÂ’ alcohol consumption worsened the correlation between approach tendencies and alcohol use. In addition, the study went on to further prove that parents who set strict, clearly-defined boundaries actually prevented or limited their adolescentsÂ’ alcohol abuse.
“Professionals within the addiction field have always felt that parents should establish strict boundaries when dealing with underage drinking,” begins a spokesperson for Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “Children truly crave direction, discipline and boundaries. By setting clear boundaries for children in all areas of life, including alcohol consumption, can limit the need for alcohol rehab and truly change the future of America. Responsible parenting involves having uncomfortable, yet important, discussions with their children.”
