There must >be a definition of Right Stuff... -------------------- '...Parenting For "The Right Stuff" What's the biggest deterrent to your kids' using drugs and alcohol? It's you. Look at the facts: Kids who learn from their parents or caregivers about the risks of drugs are 36% less likely to smoke marijuana than kids who don't. 50% less likely to use inhalants. 56% less likely to use cocaine. 65% less likely to use LSD. Get Involved Kids who are close to their parents are least likely to engage in risky behaviors. The more involved you are in your children's lives, the more valued they'll feel, and the more likely they'll be to respond to you. Establish "together time." Establish a regular weekly routine for doing something special with your child - even something as simple as going out for ice cream. Don't be afraid to ask where your kids are going, who they'll be with and what they'll be doing. Get to know your kid's friends - and their parents - so you're familiar with their activities. Try to be there after school when your child gets home. The "danger zone" for drug use is between 4 and 6 PM, when no one's around; arrange flexible time at work if you possibly can. If your child will be with friends, ideally they have adult supervision - not just an older sibling. Eat together as often as you can. Meals are a great opportunity to talk about the day's events, to unwind, reinforce, bond. Studies show that kids whose families eat together at least 5 times a week are less likely to be involved with drugs or alcohol...' Little James >I'm putting in my vote for the Right Stuff...
