Did you know that today is the first annual national “ABOVE
THE INFLUENCE” Day? The program is a
laudable effort by the White House office of National Drug Control Policy, and
while the special day may come and go without major note in many parts of the
country, the ongoing message is one as parents we should embrace – that instead of always focusing on
the problem of teen substance abuse, we should also find time to celebrate the
adolescents who buck the trends and choose to live “above the influence” of
alcohol and other drugs. It reminds me to find a moment to validate good
choices.
