Talking with Kids About Drugs
Don’t put off talking to your children about alcohol, and other drugs. As early as 4th grade, kids start to worry about pressures to try drugs. School programs alone aren’t enough. Parents must become involved, but most parents aren’t sure how to tell their children about drugs. Open communication is one of the most effective tools you can use in helping your child avoid drug use. Talking freely and really listening show children that they mean a great deal to you.

What do you say?

Tell them that you love them and you want them to be healthy and happy.
Say you do not find alcohol and other illegal drugs acceptable.
Many parents never state this simple principle. Explain how this use hurts people.
Talk about positive, drug-free alternatives, and how you can explore them together. Some ideas include sports, reading, movies, bike rides, hikes, camping, cooking, games, and concerts. Involve your kids’ friends.
Join us on March 9, 2016 at 6 p.m. at the Council Chambers at City Hall located at 23920 Valencia Blvd. for an informational and interactive workshop entitled Marijuana: Hidden in Plain Sight.

Detective Bill Velek from the Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Department will be sharing informational tips on how to recognize the warning signs of drug use, as well as common hiding places for drugs. Attendees will also learn current trends on teen drug use.

As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to call or e-mail me.
