Don't wait to have "The Drug Talk"

Don't wait to have "The Drug Talk" with your child. Make discussions about tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs part of your normal conversation. Know the facts about how drugs can harm your child. Clear up any wrong information, such as "everybody drinks" or "marijuana won't hurt you" when it occurs. Be clear about family rules for use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs.
