This Mama is MADD

With a 16 year old bonus son and 13 and 12 year olds that are already dreaming of what their first car is going to look like, kids and driving is on my mind.

Thankfully there are sites like The Power of Parents available to educate me and alleviate some of my tension.  When I visited the Power of Parenting website I took the safety quiz (15 questions designed to give you an idea of how “at risk” your child is for underage drinking and driving).

They also have a blog that posts articles about all kinds of issues facing those of us parenting teens/tweens.  I don’t know about you, but parenting kids of this age group can be a little overwhelming so I welcome all the information I can get!

The site offers advice on how to start a dialogue with your kids about alcohol, what to say in situations when alcohol is prensent,etc.  There is even an ask the expert section of the site where parents can submit specific questions.

Right now the only part of the site that is active is the area for high school parents but sections on elementary, middle school and college age kids is coming soon!  I was proud to see that my car insurance provider, Nationwide is the presenting sponsor for the site, as well.

Good job, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, for bringing us mama’s important information about keeping our kids safe (on the road *gasp*)  This mama is so not ready for boys with drivers licenses.

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.
