Children are wonderful and they can be hard to be with.
They want our attention but complain we are watching them too closely. Our support and influence help determine the adult a child turns out to be. Keeping Youth Drug-Free has been prepared in response to what caregivers and young people say about working together to resist all the pressures to use alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs. Every section provides background on each reason, information on how adults can help, and exercises to share with children. If you presently use alcohol, or even if you once tried marijuana or other illegal substances, this guide provides information you can use to help steer children away from them.
