For Cranford Parents and Adults

As parents ourselves, we know it's a hard job. Just like you, we do our best to make sure our kids are ready to make the right decisions when we're not there. And just like you, we worry whether we've done enough.

As they get older, those worries grow as the dangers grow — and as they seem to get more and more independent. But when 73% of teens ages 13-17 say their parents are the strongest influence about drinking, it's clear they still depend on the words and example they get from us.

Cranford PAW is a resource for Cranford parents that do not condone underage drinking. We provide ideas and action steps helping them to be a positive force of good for our town, drowning out the influence of the small number of families that condone or even promote alcohol use among our children.
