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.
                                       
Know who your child’s friends are and get to know the friends; parents or caregivers, too.
Watch for signs of stress in your child and help your child learn how to deal with stress. Teenagers say stress is one of the reasons they start using drugs.
Educate yourself. Identify the different types of drugs, their slang names, the signs of use, and short  - and long –term consequences.
Talk to your child’s teacher, school counselor, and the school administration about   recommended alcohol, tobacco, and drug programs and materials.
