Be a good example Your behavior can greatly influence your children's behavior. Help your kids feel good about themselves Children who feel good about themselves are less likely to try drugs and alcohol. Communicate with them regularly and listen to them. Let them know you love them. Praise and encourage them. Be a part of their lives Make time for your children. Take an interest in their interests. Get to know their friends. Set clear rules Most children expect and want ground rules from their parents. Once you have rules, stick to them and enforce them. Teach them how to say "no" Role-play scenarios with your children so they will be prepared to say "no" in situations when drugs are being offered. Be honest If your children ask, don't pretend to know everything about drugs. Be prepared to say, "I don't know but I will try to find out." Pick the right moment Use "teachable" moments to discuss drugs with your children. Nip problems in the bud If you think that your child has used or tried drugs, don't ignore it. The problem will not just go away on it's own. Approach the topic calmly with your child. Share your healthy beliefs and values Make sure your children understand your feelings about them not using drugs. Provide them with alternative activities Encourage your children to meet new kids and join different groups.
