Remember summer is the riskiest time of the year when it comes to teens and marijuana. First-time marijuana use increases significantly during the summer months. Kids who are not regularly monitored by their parents are four times more likely to use.

If there are no school-sponsored activities, you need to build an activity schedule for your child. Why not make a plan now by creating a list of ideas?

Select the type(s) of activities you think your teen would be interested in:
Sports
Games/Activities
Volunteerism
Entrepreneurship
Education/Classes


Parents know their children best and are therefore in the best position to suggest healthy alternatives to doing drugs.

According to parenting experts, one of the best ways to keep your kids away from negative influences such as drugs and alcohol is to encourage them to be involved in structured, adult-supervised activities.
