Rules
Research shows
that young people are less likely to use drugs if their parents set clear
rules. Don’t leave your kids guessing.
Tell them very
clearly that you don’t want them using alcohol or illegal drugs. Appreciate
your child’s individuality. Allow your child to express his or her
uniqueness. Monitor your child’s activities. Get to know his or her friends,
as well as the friends’ parents. Be a positive role model. Make healthy
decisions regarding your own use of alcohol and prescription drugs.
