The level of accountability of the parents plays a huge role in influencing the drinking habit of the students. In a study that was conducted by Brigham Young University, it was found that when the youth feel their parents are directly accountable for them and that they receive warmth from their parents, they become least prone to drinking. For parents who are permissive or indulgent in the lives of their children, they triple the risk of their children being binge drinkers are a result of their low accountability but high warmth. Strict or authoritarian parents also double the risk of their children becoming alcoholics as a result of being high on accountability but low on warmth (Changalwa, Ndurumo, Barasa, & Poipoi, 2012).
Parents who teach their children in the religious ways also greatly reduce the outcome of the children as alcoholics since they are high on accountability and warmth (Jacob & Johnson, 1997). Neglectful or uninvolved parents are low on accountability and warmth which also increases the risk of their children becoming alcoholics. The authoritative parenting style which is both demanding and responsive also greatly reduces the chances of children becoming alcoholics as a result of it being a balanced style of parenting whereby the parent understand the feelings of the child and helps the child to regulate their feelings (Changalwa et al., 2012).
However, an important thing to note is that the parents and their parenting style do not influence whether the children try alcohol. What they influence is the outcome of the children as binge drinkers or alcoholics. The important issue is that the parents need to understand that...
They are essentially very hands-on parents and loving which creates an environment that is conducive for the children to make the right decision and to be able to avoid alcoholism at all costs. For the authoritarian parents, they are strict but not necessarily warm. This makes the children have a sense of rebellion against the parents which may lead them to fall to peer pressure and become binge drinkers. For the indulgent parenting style, the parent is loving but is unlikely to punish the child for any wrong doing. This makes the child feel that even though they may do something wrong, there is no repercussion and thus may lead them to become binge drinkers. The last style which is the neglectful style is embodied by lack of warmth and accountability from the parents which may make the child become a binge drinker in order to compensate for the lack of the feeling of warmth and love from the parents (Hanson, Venturelli, & Fleckenstein, 2011).
The academy of pediatrics as well as other children's health organizations have found that children who have authoritative parents become independent, successful in social circles and have respect for authority which is part of what leads them astray from binge drinking. The academy has also emphasized on the importance of early drug
However, an important thing to note is that the parents and their parenting style do not influence whether the children try alcohol. What they influence is the outcome of the children as binge drinkers or alcoholics. The important issue is that the parents need to understand that they are not controlling the behavior of their children rather they need to combine warmth, accountability and love in order to make a balanced parenting style that is able to effectively prevent them from becoming alcoholics (Kusmierski, Nichols, & McDonnell).
Authoritative parents monitor their kids closely and they give a lot of support and warmth to their children. They are essentially very hands-on parents and loving which creates an environment that is conducive for the children to make the right decision and to be able to avoid alcoholism at all costs. For the authoritarian parents, they are strict but not necessarily warm. This makes the children have a sense of rebellion against the parents which may lead them to fall to peer pressure and become binge drinkers. For the indulgent parenting style, the parent is loving but is unlikely to punish the child for any wrong doing. This makes the child feel that even though they may do something wrong, there is no repercussion and thus may lead them to become binge drinkers.

Eating Behaviors in First Year College Students Drugs and Alcohol Eating Behaviors in the First Year College Students Eating Behaviors in First Year College Students The transition from high school to undergraduate life is perhaps of the most challenging experiences from adolescence into early adulthood. One of the common side effects of this transition is weight gain that occurs during the first or freshman year of college. The paper will discuss how behaviors related
In fact, some people can recover from alcoholism with no formal treatment whatsoever, and others may "…cycle in and out of dependence" during their entire lifetime, Huebner continues (296). One relatively new idea in terms of treating alcoholics is to use the powerful hallucinogenic drug, LSD, according to an article in Medline Plus (Preidt, 2012). A study using 536 patients who were alcohol dependent showed that "a single dose of
Alcoholism in Adolescence Significance of the health issue of alcoholism Everything is good in moderation, and, indeed, studies show that low-levels of alcohol consumption (such as 1-2 drinks per day (Sellman et al., 2009) may prove beneficial to drinkers. Chronic alcohol abuse (i.e. consistent and persistent consumption of alcohol) has an undoubted negative long-term impact. It is ironic that whilst low drinking can consequent in decreased risks of osteoporosis, cardiovascular condition, stroke,
Psychosocial factors, such as depression, anxiety and social support, also induce drinking. This study confirmed that social cognitive factors drove college students to report on their own drinking. Psychosocial motives drove them to do so only at 1%. Social support was the only significant psychosocial predictor. The awareness of both the positive and negative consequences of drinking was quite likely behind the willingness of college students to report on
Such parent is expected to show higher degree of neglect and rejection. Research conducted by Jackson et al. (1997) have shown that parenting styles that are not balanced are expected to enhance the chances of alcoholism in the child. Where authoritative style of parenting is highly balanced, it not only fulfills the needs of a child but also exerts the demand for the right behavior in a positive manner. The
Correlation of Alcoholism to Parenting Styles Correlation of Parenting Styles to Alcohol Drinking Frequency in the Brooklyn Modern Orthodox Jewish Community. Do the parenting styles in the Modern Orthodox Jewish community differentially correlate with self-reported alcohol use of Jewish College Freshmen males within the Orthodox Brooklyn Borough Park community (18-26)? In general, the four parenting styles have a significant correlation on the behavior and attitudes of youngsters in college (Beck et al., 2004).
