[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do stay up. However, my kid (a senior) is not yet into drinking at all. In this case, did you tell her no drinking at the party? Did you tell her she could or could not go? What expectations did you set? Here, she drank (not good though some parents allow it) but did not drive. A punishment is in order but I do think it depends on the expectations set. [b]And more important, a conversation about going forward, being safe, peer pressure, etc. needs to happen[/b]. [/quote] This. Instead of focusing on punishment, talk to her. How did drinking make her feel? How does she think the host felt? Did she have a good time? Why or why not? Who offered her a drink and how? How did that feel? What would she do differently and why?[/quote]
