Author Advises Parents About Drug Free Children.
Raising drug free children- What every parent should know
Bronx, NY (PRWEB) February 17, 2005 -- Author Alan Cramer has some advice for
parents. “Although nothing can guarantee that your children will stay off of
drugs, there are some preventative measures you can take,” claims Cramer. Here
is his list of five things that parents can do to help keep their children on
the right path.
First of all, talk to your children about drugs; you’d be
surprised how many parents don’t do this- until it’s too late. If you don’t tell
them drugs are wrong, who will, the neighborhood drug dealer?
Cramer’s
second piece of advice is, know their friends. You can tell a lot about your
child by their choice of friends. Sometimes this can be a wake up call for
parents.
Third, don’t assume anything or take anything for granted, just
because you don’t give your child money. This doesn’t mean that he/she can’t get
drugs. Most recovering addicts will tell you, “The First One’s Always Free.”
Fourth, encourage reading. This includes reading to younger children.
Drug use often stems from ignorance of the consequences. Reading is one of the
best ways to thwart ignorance.
And finally, don’t use them yourself-
need I say more.
