Your teen and alcohol For Aldeas HS by L. Gonzalez (ASFM Psychology Department)

Teen Brain Development & Alcohol

 The portions of the brain that deal with emotion, memory, learning, motivation and judgment are the last to develop and, as such, are the most deeply affected by alcohol (or drug abuse ) during ages 12 through 20, often through age 25.  If a teen abuses alcohol, the neural connections associated with memories and experiences related to alcohol abuse are the ones that are strengthened and thus embedded.  Neural connections damaged by or not used because of alcohol abuse (those related to learning or judgment, for example) are pruned or not strengthened.

Teen Brain Development & Alcohol

Should parents introduce young people to alcohol?

guidelines  Delay your teenager’s introduction to alcohol – don’t offer them alcohol before they are 18.  Model responsible drinking and attitudes towards alcohol, including demonstrating to your children that alcohol is not essential to having a good time.  Monitor your teenager when you are not around by staying in touch with their friends’ parents, and prepare them to deal with the influence of peers.  Establish family rules and consequences for breaching them.
