Text Box: Help Your Child Stay Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Free What you say to your child about using alcohol or drugs makes a big difference. Believe it or not, children DO listen to their parents when they talk about these things—and children say that their parents are a huge influence in their decision not to use alcohol or drugs. 1. Talk to your child about the real risks of using alcohol or drugs. If you are hav- ing a hard time getting started and need more information, get a copy of Keep- ing Youth Drug Free from the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug In formation at 1-800-729-6686, www.health.org or Dorchester County Health Department. 2. Be a good role model for your child; don’t take part in any illegal, unhealthy, or dangerous drug use practices. 3. Make parenting a priority. Make rules for your child and enforce the rules. Chil- dren say that they want rules from their parents—it shows them that you care about what happens to them. Adapt the rules as needed as your child gets older and more independent. 4. Help your child learn what to say if offered alcohol or drugs. It’s easier to stand up to peer pressure with some practice saying no and being firm about it.
