Synopsis

"How do we prevent our kids from starting to use drugs?" Effective drug prevention is an ongoing process that starts in the toddler years. This book is a guide to help you as this journey begins. The suggestions are age appropriate, but their goal will be to mold your child into a positive, self-assured teenager, one that will not be interested in drug use. Although methods of parenting vary from parent to parent, the common goal concerning drug abuse prevention should be to develop children with a strong sense of self, and a very high level of self-esteem. Children need to respect themselves and their loved ones. Children do not come with a manual, and all you can do is your best. Hopefully, the following tools to keep your kids drug free will help you on the journey of parenthood.

#52 - Teach your children about how drugs destroy families.

Rather than telling your children that drugs kill, teach them about how drugs destroy families. Kids know drugs don't always kill. This statement will likely be ignored due to teen's feeling of immortality, This will work because, whether or not they admit it, family is important to them. Be sure to believe it yourself; drug use destroys families. You have wonderful dreams for your children and family. When drug use enters the picture, all dreams are destroyed. Talk to your children about how drug use would effect all members of your family. Personalize it, drawing a picture of how life would be different if they choose to use drugs.
