Keeping your kids drug-free is achieved in a series of small, personal ways. We are all individual parts of a greater whole. Parents play a huge role in this interconnected social landscape.
Research shows that kids view parents as their most influential role models.
Overwhelmingly, research demonstrates that kids want parents to be parents. That is the best deterrent in the fight against drugs. Between 4 and 6 pm is when kids are most likely to try drugs. So keep them busy. Encourage them to try out for the basketball team, the school play, or band.
