Power of Parents ® High School Handbook
Chapter 1
You can even change your child’s future.
All of the best information from decades of studies done in the United States and Europe points to the same thing, with no exceptions – children and teens are safer when there are family rules present.
Breaking News: With support from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, Dr. Turrisi and a team of prominent scientists conducted a clinical trial to examine the effectiveness of MADD’s Power of Parents handbook. 1100 families, representative of the U.S. population, participated in the trial. Dr. Turrisi and his team observed that when parents read the MADD handbook AND discussed its contents with their teens, their teens declined more rides with impaired drivers. It is important to mention that this was only the case when parents discussed almost all of the content of the MADD Power of Parents materials. See the study for yourself in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
