Walk the Walk
Be a role model, the
person you want your kid to be. What stronger anti-drug message is there?
| 1. | Be a living, day-to-day example of your value system. Show the compassion, honesty, generosity and openness you want your child to have. |
| 2. | 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. |
| 3. | Examine your own behavior. If you use drugs or alcohol, know that your kids are inevitably going to pick up on it. Or if you laugh uproariously at a movie when someone is drunk or stoned, what message does that send to your child? |
