Anheuser-Busch Family Talk About Drinking program

The school year brings new surroundings and social situations, which makes it an ideal time for parents to talk with their teens about not drinking. A new survey positively reveals that many parents have already started the conversation ? and that their teens were receptive:

? Two-thirds of parents (67 percent) said they?ve talked with their teens about drinking during the back-to-school season

? 88 percent of those parents felt their teens were receptive to the conversation

? Separately, 67 percent of parents surveyed feel they have influence on their teens? decisions about underage drinking and their teens listen to them.

For those of you that haven?t yet had that talk, Anheuser-Busch?s Family Talk About Drinking program?s Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ABFamilyTalk) continues to help parents start the conversation and maintain an ongoing dialogue. The page features a downloadable parent guide and forum for visitors to ask questions and share stories, as well as periodic live chats with certified parent coach MJ Corcoran.

Nominate Someone Special for Sports Illulstrated Kids SportsParent of the Year Contest

For the first time ever, Sports Illustrated Kids is naming a ?SportsParent of the Year? and would like to invite you to enter or nominate an inspirational SportsParent! Modeled after the famed Sportsman and SportsKid of the Year awards, the SportsParent of the Year title will honor a parent who embodies the essence of sportsmanship. After all, we wouldn?t have a Sportsman or SportsKid without the role model who initially set the example. A true SportsParent is dedicated to using sports to support family and community, not scores and trophies. The SportsParent will exemplify qualities that SI Kids aims to impart to children through a shared passion for sports, including fun, dedication, healthy living, and the value of community and team.

The ?2012 SportsParent of the Year? Grand Prize Winner will receive a $1,000 gift card to support his/her child?s or community team?s sports needs! The winner may also be featured in an upcoming issue of Sports Illustrated Kids magazine and/or on SIKids.com. Deadline for contest entries end 9/24.
