Making One Choice to avoid using any substance before age 21 protects the brain during its development.

Support your child’s choice not to use by pledging to:

• Remember that 90% of addiction begins before age 18
• Require adult supervision at all adolescent social events
• Support drug free schools and activities
• Enjoy screen-free family meals regularly
• Drink alcohol in moderation, if at all
• Demonstrate both love and discipline to my children 
• Establish rules regarding friends, phones, and curfews
• Maintain a no-drug/no-alcohol rule for minors
• Lock up and monitor all alcohol and medications in the home
• Spend regular and undistracted one-on-one time with each of my children
