Happy St. Patrick's Day! For me today is really more about being my younger sister's birthday and enjoying seeing everyone dressed in green, but to many it is a day all about...you guessed it...drinking! It is amazing how a day to celebrate an Irish Saint has now become (in the U.S.) one of green beer, bars opening at 7am, and of course all the druken mishaps that go along with excessive drinking.
But towns are taking notice and addressing the crazy celebration. For example, every year Scranton holds it St. Patty's Day parade, and this year they also included a big push to drink responsibly and also addressed underage drinking. Click HERE to read the full story in the Scranton Times-Tribune.
Also, click HERE for the history of Saint Patrick's Day and all things Irish! The funny thing is, people in Ireland celebrate today by going to church, as it is considered a religious holiday!
Many parents wonder about how to address issues they come across with their pre-teen and teen children. Topics like drugs & alcohol, bullying, and diet can be hard for parents to deal with. Well here's a parent blog just for Rose Tree Media Parents to help Start the Discussion!
