Child Behavior Topic of Substance abuse |

The number one best way to prevent substance abuse problems is to create an environment in the home and the family that makes being free of dependency more reinforcing then being dependent. If children do experiment with substance abuse, parents are advised to not "come unglued." They should, rather, treat it with empathy and understanding, reaffirm their expectations, allow consequences to deliver the message, and strengthen the bonds between them and their children. Children who are substance abusers should be encouraged to remain at home as long as possible, and while living at home, be encouraged to participate in family activities, and to not encourage siblings to tamper with, or be curious about, the use of drugs/alcohol/tobacco. Siblings who do not abuse substances should be taught to show love and concern for any member of the family who does engage in substance abuse, but should also be taught how to avoid invitations to be useers of drugs/alcohol/tobacco.
