- Educate them about the negative effect that drugs have on people.
- Show extreme real cases of people affected by drugs as a scare tactic.
- Avoid showing movies or shows were drug use is considered "cool."
- Show alternate ways to dealing with extreme emotions such as sadness if ever encountered so that your children will not refer to drug use.
- Be a positive role model and not show any lineage towards acceptance of drugs but do not be too overwhelming.
- Show drugs (medical) as last resort to problem solving, not solutions to everything.

That looks like a good list for keeping kids off drugs. Mainly the one about showing them the consequences of drug use to scare them. It seems that would get the point across.

ReplyDeletethat's def. the best tactic I believe.
Information is key when it comes to teaching the youth about drugs. If you can steer children toward good lifestyle choices and habits, they may be able to avoid the consequences of substance use and abuse. I think your list inform very well.
