Building Strong Family Bonds

BY JULIE ANDERSON

Spending time bonding with your family this summer will help prevent underage drinking in your household. Bonding also lays the groundwork to make difficult conversations easier. Establishing trust that is built while spending quality time together, will make it easier to set and enforce rules later about not using alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs. Remember to have fun together and prioritize family bonding this summer!
