[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm French. Parents introduce alcohol at home, in small and supervised quantities, so that kids are not surprised or excited by the act of drinking. Most parents insist on moderation, and, in our personal case, explain that our kids might have inherited their parents' low tolerance for alcohol. It turns out our kids hate the taste of alcohol. We were like this at their age, and now DH and I consume rarely, and in very small quantities (a few glasses a year). So I'm really not worried. [/quote] I'm not French, but this is our approach as well. DH and I both grew up with an alcoholic parent, so we have lived it and know very well the consequences of alcoholism. We're under no illusion this approach will inoculate our kids from it, but we hope it will help them develop a "no big deal" attitude towards drinking. [/quote]
