How Parents Should Guide Children About Drugs
Considered a phase of conflicts and adaptations, adolescence is the period of questioning, the search for new experiences and the growing interest in independence. Therefore, it is common to raise the concern of parents, after all, knowing how to talk and clarify all the doubts the child may not be so pleasurable.
Many parents do not engage in dialogue with their children at an early age and this ultimately undermines the relationship. When talking about sex or drugs, for example, a barrier is erected between them.
For this reason, dialogue is essential. Through the conversation, a greater rapprochement between parents and children is established, which increases the security, understanding and connection between them. Nothing better than clarifying doubts. If your child does not clarify with you, you can ask other people who will indicate the wrong paths.
Pay attention!
Caring and attention with the little ones are essential for drug prevention. This is because your child will know that he can always count on you, feeling comfortable in all situations.
Learn to listen
Be careful when speaking and give your child the freedom to ask questions and comment on the subject. It’s important to let them speak up. It’s no good for the parents to talk and the child to listen. There has to be an exchange of comments always.
Friends
Knowing who your children walk with is critical. “Look at the friendships your kids did at school. Talk also with the teacher, after all, he better than anyone, will know a little of the behavior of all the children in the room.
Go straight to the point
Be honest and show the reality on the subject. Parents should use language that the child understands and should not omit any situation. Little ones should know about all the harm that drug use can bring to the person.
It is worth remembering that it is necessary for parents to build bonds of friendship among their children. Respect their space, but let them know that there are limits and rules.
If you notice that your child came home drunk, for example, this situation should be remedied as soon as possible! Set limits and show that responsibility is the best way to a healthy life.
