Red Ribbon Week:  This is a great reminder for all of us to talk with our children about the dangers of drugs.

Younger kids (8-12)
What do you think about drugs?  Show you are willing to discuss the topic and hear what they have to say.  They might be more willing to come for help in the future.

Older kids (13-17)
Do you have questions about drugs? Show you are willing to listen.  
How are you feeling about your friends?  Get to know your child’s friends...and their parents.  
What strategies do you have to turn down drugs?  Practice = Confidence.
