Average rating: 3 out of 5 star rating

Drugs are a constant source of worry to parents. Our guide will help you tackle the problem.

How to talk to your kids about drugs

1. Use news items to open up conversations about drugs.
2. Don't tell shock-horror stories (they lose impact as the child gets older).
3. Keep reminding them that drugs are illegal, can kill and that many schools now expel first-time drug-users.
4. Set a good example, don't get drunk in front of them and give up smoking!
