Not My Kid:

What can you do, as a parent, to help your child grow up to make responsible decisions about drugs and alcohol?

• Talk to your child about the risks of drug and alcohol use.
  
• Be a good listener. When your child talks to you about social situations, help him/her come up with appropriate solutions.
• Be a good example to your child by not abusing alcohol or drugs. Children whose parents abuse alcohol or drugs are at a greater risk for misuse or abuse later in life.
• Spend time strengthening the bond with your child.

Campuses will be conducting different activities with students during this week geared towards drug prevention. Check out your child's school website for more information on specific activities planned for Red Ribbon Week.

This is a great resource for parents to use as a conversation starter with their children.
