Your kids are attracted to new exciting and challenging things. Unfortunately, marijuana can be equally attractive to them.
Teens whose parents lay out clear, firm rules about pot are much less likely to experiment with drugs.
As a good parent, you want to encourage your kids to be inquisitive and anxious to learn. But you also want to establish a "no-dugs" rule. Now you can protect your kids from the risks of marijuana by paying close attention to their behavior:
(1) Know where your teen is, who he is with, and what he is doing; check up on him to make sure he is where he says he is.
(2) Find out who your child's friends are and get to know them.
(3) Get in touch with other adults in your teen's life, such as teachers and coaches. Have them inform you of any changes in your teen's behavior.
(4) Engage your teen in constructive and adult-supervised activities outside of school. As a parent, you role in protecting your children from marijuana is critical.
