Be a Good Role Model for Teens
Be a role model of the person you want your kid to be. What stronger anti-drug message is there?
Keep these tips in mind:
 |
Be a living, day-to-day example of your value system. Show the compassion, honesty,
generosity and openness you want your child to have. |
 |
Know that there is no such thing as "do as I say, not as I do" when it comes to drugs. If you take drugs, you can’t expect your
child to take your advice. Seek professional help if necessary. |
 |
Examine your own behavior. If you abuse drugs or alcohol, your kids are going to pick
up on it. Or if you laugh at a drunk or stoned person in a movie, you may be sending the wrong message to your child. Be the person you want your kid to be. What stronger
anti-drug message is there? |
