Teenage Alcoholic - How parents can prevent it
« on: April 17, 2010, 04:34:25 PM »
By Nancy Shute

Teenage drinking is such a health risk that pediatricians are now being told to screen all teenagers—and even sixth graders—for alcohol use. That new policy from the American Academy of Pediatrics can be a powerful tool for parents to help their children avoid trouble with alcohol. But first, parents need to learn to give teenagers some privacy in the doctor's office.

"Tenacious parents who will not leave the examination room" are cited as a major barrier to routine screening for alcohol and drug use by pediatricians in the new teen alcohol screening policy. And what 13-year-old would want to tell Mom she pounded five Vodka Cruisers at a party? "We want to keep families involved," Patricia Kokotailo, director of adolescent medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health told me, "but some things are very difficult for teenagers to express if it's not confidential." She is also lead author of the new guidelines. When Kokotailo sees teenagers in the office, she usually talks with them privately before speaking to the family as a whole, but doesn't reveal anything that children want kept private.

Mounting research showing that the teenage brain is in the midst an amazing developmental phase was a chief driver behind the call for universal screening for alcohol use. That brain growth spurt gives teens remarkable cognitive powers, but also leaves their brains more vulnerable to the damaging effects of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. Recent research has also shown that the earlier teenagers start drinking, the more likely they are to have problems as adults with school, jobs, and relationships.

There's abundant evidence that no matter how much teenagers diss grown-ups, they still view their parents as their biggest role models. And while the pediatricians are calling for some privacy in the exam room, they emphasize that strong parental involvement is key to controlling teens' drinking. That's great motivation to tell your children what you might have hesitated to say before:

Talk with your children about your family's history of alcohol or drug use. There's a genetic component to alcoholism, and kids should know if they're at greater risk of problems.
Give your children one-on-one time with the pediatrician. Think of it as their lesson in how to navigate the healthcare system.

Set a firm policy: No alcohol, drugs, or tobacco until age 21. Use the new research on the teenage brain to explain that this is about keeping those brains safe.

Never host a teenage party with drugs or alcohol. "The liability is enormous if one of those kids goes out and drives and kills himself, or others," says Kokotailo.

Show your kids how to use alcohol responsibly; have a beer, sure, but don't get drunk. Current federal dietary guidelines call for no more than one drink a day for women, two for men.
"Prevention is a big thing," Kokotailo told me. "We now know better how alcohol affects the brain and neurodevelopment of young people." Her hope is that with more pediatricians asking about teenage drinking, and with more parents telling children what they need to know about alcohol and keeping a close eye on their behavior, teenagers will be better equipped to make their way to a healthy adulthood.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

This is the nurture side of view. My husband died of  liver cirrhosis or cancer of the liver which was the consequence of long years of alcoholism. Our family physician told me that there are some genes who make a person inclined to this kind of addiction. I believe this since he is the only one in the family. All the rest of the siblings ( parents  of course) are non-alcohlic.

i do a lot of reverse psychology with my daughters. i dont know if i am right or if i am wrong but i told them that they can do whatever they want like drink or smoke as long as they will tell us. for me, saying "NO" to teenagers will result to rebellion and NO means YES..

kujawa nimo Anne! Walay reverse psychology naho.
In-ani ang akong kalaki;  Dili ko gusto nga manigarilyo o moinom mo kon ania pa kamo sa akong puder, kon makasakpan mo dakong butoh. Kas-a rang sulti way balik-balik. It functioned, thanks God!

Epektibo bitaw tingali ang reverse psychology in this case. Naa mi silingan nga palahubog jamo, maoy ra ba kon masobrahan. Ang tanan nijang anak laki kay pulos buotan, wa juy bisyo.

i am basing everything man gud sa personal experience nako.. My parents would always tell me.. no BF, no smoking, no drinking........ so mas gi-thrilling ko mao at 14, dha nakoy uyab, at 15 nagstart nako og inom and at 16, nagsmoke nako which was all done secretly..... mao nga i will try this reverse psychology thing. maybe this will work...

My children see my point and the health hazards that entails, this was good enough for them to learn the lesson well.

tinuod ka Manay.....

duna'y talagsa ra pod nga ang amahan palahubog pero ang mga anak pulos buotan....
ang kadagahanan, kon ang amahan palahubog, ang anak imbodohon...hehehe

kon sama lang nako ug ni Bai Hubag ng abuotan kaayo nga pagka amahan, tataw kaayo nga buotan sab ang mga anak...
Ginoo hinaut pa unta..

Both strategies can be good... can work in different cases. The other good strategy is by way of example, meaning, mas maayo kung di moinom ug mosigarilyo, kay mas sayon iduot ang pamalaod sa balay kung duna man gani.

Pero kami sa balay sa nagtubo mi, my dad would use reverse psychology,,, di to sija moinom pero kusog buaw manabako. Ako nag suggest sa reverse psychology esp para sa mga manghud nako... nisugot raman pod... mao siguro to I never smoked til after college. Salamat kay niundang napod ko permanently (I hope).

But inom, as in hubog2x?!! I think that was a STAGE a person has to go through in life (or teenage life). Ang reverse psycho wa mo epekto namong mga laki, epektibo ras mga babae (wa ganahi kay paet kuno beer, tuba samot na, whiskey or rhum). Again, niundang raman pod ang bisyo when I left the Philippinezs and I barely drink now... pinugos kasagaran. For some reason I moved on.

I have one other theory... kung naa kas Bohol ug mahilig kag barkada, very unlikely makalikay kag inum-inom. Leave the Philippines, bwahahaha!!!  ;D ;D

Parents should talk to their children about this. From time to time. Emphasis on responsibility and moral character.

Daliti na lang Ann unya dayon ingon, "Aaaah, this is good for the heart (kining red wine), as long as you drink in moderation." Bitaw, sa tinuod, there's nothing wrong with anything as long as it's done in moderation. But if you're one who is not mahilig sa "moderation" but "moderetso" bahalina lamay ihatag aron moabot ug buntag. Bwahahaha!  ;D
