Even in decent and well-mannered families, children may show interest in alcoholic beverages.
Most often, the reason lies in the fact that parents were unable to instill the correct attitude towards alcohol.
Why might children become interested in alcoholic beverages?
It's natural
Almost every child is curious to try "adult juice" that he is not allowed to drink. Children think that such a drink must be very tasty and interesting, since parents "don't want to share".
Age
During adolescence, almost everyone gets acquainted with alcoholic beverages. Children show their protest, rebel against parental rules and try in every way to integrate into the "cool" company of guys.
Also, many may feel that alcohol makes them look more mature and confident.
Family Traditions
Experts note that joint feasts of adults and children should be done correctly. It is not worth actively drinking alcohol in front of a child.
Otherwise, it will be impossible to explain why this cannot be done.
Lack of appropriate conversations
Not everyone knows that conversations about the harm and dangers of drinking alcohol should start at a fairly early age.
A child must understand that alcohol is a dangerous drink that adults consume at their own risk.
