How To Talk To Your Kids About Drugs
Before you start this important conversation talking to
your kids about drugs, you must keep in mind, this conversation isn't about you in the first
place. This is about your kid and to warn them on the dangers of using drugs. If you
remember this from the start, you wont be afraid to say or feel whats on your mind.
You also can't be afraid to speak out just in case your kid
come out and ask you did you do drugs when you were coming up because it might happen. In my
opinion, you should tell the truth right from the start. This way you wont risk losing
credibility if your kid somehow find out that you did do drugs in the past. You either give a
honest answer or no answer at all.
The point you're trying to make should be what really
matters. Don't beat around the bush - let them understand you don't want them to do drugs and
definately give your reasons why. I feel that if you dont give them a reason they just might
do it anyway. If you have a lot of reasons that can last all day that's even
better.
Let your kid know what you have learned being around the
culture where drugs are a fact of life. You can talk about examples on TV, or if you have an
experience of your own. If you seen too many examples of how drugs can change a person life
for the worse. Just let your kid know what you have learned.
Make sure you ask them if they feel pressured into using drugs
because some of their friends are experimenting with to try to make you fit in. If thats the
case, let them know that's never a very good reason to do drugs.
When you do talk to your kid, you will anticipate that your
child first reaction about drugs will be very quiet. You want a two way conversation about
the subject. Ask them what do they think? Ask them if it's a subject their friends talk
about? Ask them what they think of celebrities who use drugs. Keep asking questions and
listen to the answers.
Before you even start this conversation, you better be calm and
try not to raise your voice. If you do lose your temper, try to catch yourself. If the
situation is not going well, suggest talking about it another time. It's okay to admit to
them that talking about this conversation is not easy for you either.
It's very difficult to even know how to talk to your kids about
drugs. The most important aspect of the whole situation you have to remember, this is about
your child's future and hopefully when you talk to them it should be much easier for
yourself. Good Luck!
