MADD's The Power of Parents

Nationwide on Power of Parents, It's Your Influence by MADD from MADD Online on Vimeo.


My oldest child is a good ten years from being handed the keys to the car. But that doesn't mean that I don't think about drinking and driving. Someone very close to my family was hit by a drunk driver sustaining injuries that eventually caused his death. It was senseless and could have been prevented had the person just handed over his keys or taken a cab.

If your children are getting close to driving or already are, it's important to talk with them about driving and alcohol. I know this may be an awkward conversation to begin, but there are resources available to help open up communication, like the Power of Parents website (see video above).

Also look to these resources from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD):

Safe travels!

I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by Mom Central on behalf of MADD. A donation was made to MADD in my name to thank me for taking the time to participate.
