Even two year olds can understand that chemicals will hurt them. Read warning labels and teach them that household bleach and other cleaning supplies are harmful so they will later understand that illegal chemicals will hurt them too. Talk openly . Kids who are comfortable talking with you are more likely to rely on your guidance to resist peer pressure. Kids that participate in sports, church groups, and scouting organizations are much less likely to be interested in smoking drinking or using drugs.
Kids don t relate to death and illness as much as bad breath and personal grooming.
They are much more likely to give up smoking or refuse to start because it s an unattractive, nasty habit, than because it will kill them. All rights reserved.
