Parenting: If you want to save your children from drugs, then parents should keep these 5 important things in mind..

We all know how dangerous drugs are for our health. If we talk about today's time, children go through many types of pressures. They too are burdened with stress. Be it the stress of studies betrayal of friendship, or even the effect of social media. In such a situation, no one knows when addiction habits like alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, or vaping become a part of children's lives.

Especially in teenagers, aged is 13 to 19 years, when the brain is not fully developed. During this time most children fall prey to drugs.

Our article today is also on this topic. We will give you some such information so that parents can save their children from getting trapped in these bad habits. Let's know about them in detail-

Talk openly and with a calm mind.

If your child has fallen into any bad habit, then you must know the right way to talk to them. If you talk to them in anger or by scolding them, then they can become irritable. In such a situation, you must talk to them openly in private and keep your mind calm.

Listen to their words too.

Whenever you talk to your children, give priority to their words instead of just saying your own. Ask them what they think about it. If they know anything about drugs, then it is your responsibility to give them the right information.

Tell them the reasons to avoid drugs.

Just saying 'don't do it' will not work. It is important to explain to them that drugs will not only affect their studies, and career, but can also harm their skin and health.

Teach them to deal with friendship and pressure.

Many times children get into the trap of drugs by getting influenced by their friends. In such a situation, explain to the children that they should also learn to say 'no' to their friends. This is good for them. They can leave from there by making some other excuse.

Be a good example yourself.

First of all, parents also have to stay away from things like alcohol or cigarettes. Only then can you explain to the children what harm these things can do and why you are trying to stay away from them. Keep in mind that children learn what they see their elders doing.

Be alert if you see these changes.

Sudden anger
Suddenly being very quiet
Staying alone
Not doing school work properly
Repeatedly asking for money
Strange smell coming from the body
Finding drug-related items in the room

Seek help from a doctor, counselor, or expert
Keep an eye on the children
