Most likely, your child will observe how family values affect your behavior, and he or she will adopt your attitudes and beliefs. Respecting the human body and desiring a healthy lifestyle. Believing that it is important to be in control of your own behavior at all times. Whatever your values, the key is helping your child have standards that he or she believes are good and important. And when the pressure to use alcohol or other drugs increases, your child will have strong family values to help guide his or her actions.
Studies show that most adults are a lot like their parents in drinking and smoking habits.
The amount you drink or smoke is not the only behavior you show your children. They also notice why you drink or smoke, when you drink, and whether you drive, boat, swim, or perform any other activity that is dangerous when combined with alcohol. Other studies show that children whose parents smoke are more likely to smoke themselves. Research has not shown drinking in front of your children to be harmful. But showing children that adults may abstain from alcohol is setting a positive example.
