I came across this article today on the BBC News website and it seems that there is some discussion to encourage parents to talk about drinking alcohol and how to deal with it with their children. Interestingly my thoughts on this is I wonder if we should be encouraging parents to talk to their children about the positive benefits of doing something like Yoga, drinking the occasional healthy vegetable or fruit juice, in the hope that this will plant a more positive outlook on what is good for us rather than what is potentially very harmful.
What are your thoughts, should we allow our children to try alcohol, if so when and do we need to have a conversation with them about it?
