Summary:
Stanton Peele, who is both a psychologist and an author, says, "Preparing your child to drink at home lessens the likelihood that they are going to binge drink; forbidding them from drinking creates temptation."
However, many experts don't agree with his idea. They claim that alcohol is harmful to the development of children's brains, and underage drinking even has an impact to the society.
But the psychologist contends that kids are going to drink no matter what and that it is critical for parents to set the example.
