How should parents educate their children to stay away from drugs?
Drug abuse among teenagers in western countries has become an incurable "social chronic disease". In the 1990s, China faced the severe challenge of a sharp increase in the number of young drug addicts. Anti-drug education for teenagers has become an important responsibility of society, schools and families. As a responsible parent, we should instill anti-drug awareness in children from the beginning when they are sensible.

(1) Parents themselves should be fully aware of the dangers of drugs. If the phenomenon of drug abuse in a society is not contained, it will seriously poison the social atmosphere and disrupt the social order. In the long run, the spiritual quality of the whole people will be seriously affected. Drug abuse will bring misfortune and disaster to the whole family and relatives and friends. The reality is that as long as one person in the family takes drugs, the family is doomed to ruin; There are countless examples of this. Drug abuse means the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS in China; Drug abuse has intensified the infiltration of overseas triads into China and provided yeast-like soil and conditions for the breeding of triads in China ... Parents should fully understand the dangers of drugs, educate their children on drug prevention from an early age, introduce books and periodicals in this field to their children, and lead them to watch film and television programs and photo exhibitions on drug control, so that children can clearly understand the dangers of drugs from an early age.

(2) To educate children about drug prevention, parents should be good at grasping the critical period when children are most likely to go astray. When children enter adolescence, their physiology, psychology and personality are in a mature but immature period. They are eager for independence and like to show their independence. At this time, they have a strong spirit of adventure, exploration and even rebellion, and are full of curiosity about everything. The survey of drug addicts shows that many teenagers take the first bite of drugs "to satisfy their curiosity and want to try", and the result can be imagined. Therefore, parents should pay attention to children's changes and development, and strengthen drug prevention education for adolescent children, but at the same time, the education methods should be appropriate to prevent children from having rebellious psychology.

(3) It is understandable that teenagers like to make friends. Parents should encourage their children to make friends with noble interests, ideals and talents, not fair-weather friends, and educate their children to make friends carefully. According to the survey, many teenagers' first bite on the road of drug abuse is given by "buddies" and "good friends" or lured. At present, the characteristics of adolescent drug abuse are gang drug abuse, and often a drug addict "brings out" a group of drug addicts. So parents should understand and observe their children's friends. Beware of children making bad friends or even "addicts".

(4) Carry out necessary moral education and aesthetic education for children, so that children can correctly distinguish truth, goodness, beauty from falsehood and ugliness. At present, an upstart with a low level of knowledge and education, some big bowls and even some movie stars pursue pleasure, regard gambling, whoring and drug abuse as signs of wealth, show their "uniqueness" through drug abuse, and regard drug abuse as a fashion move with high consumption; Some reactionary pornographic books, movies and TV plays popular in society exaggerate the "stimulus" of drug abuse, which will seriously poison the minds of teenagers, pollute social customs and lead teenagers into the hell of drug abuse. Parents must be highly vigilant.

(5) Parents should let their children know that there are not only sunshine and blue sky, but also dark clouds and storms in life. Parents should consciously educate their children to know the necessary setbacks and tolerance for failure from an early age. In reality, some teenagers face setbacks, mental stress and anxiety, lack enthusiasm for work and life, and lack timely care from relatives and friends. When they were depressed, they tried to smoke two cigarettes to taste ecstasy, and as a result, they became addicts and fell into the gates of hell.

(6) educate children about drug control, and parents should pay attention to family building. The survey shows that bad and unfortunate family environment is also an important reason for children and adolescents to go astray. Educate children not to take drugs, and parents should first stay away from drugs. One parent was unfortunately addicted to drugs, and his wife tried her best to persuade him. In a rage, he started taking drugs himself. Since then, the happy family has fallen into darkness. The child dried his tears, grabbed the injection medicine prepared by his father for himself, and inserted it into the vein ... All three of us finally committed suicide by taking poison. Educate children to stay away from drugs and parents should cherish marriage and family. A famous sociologist once said, "The divorce of parents is second only to the death of parents". Even if they have to, husband and wife should strive for "successful divorce" and jointly shoulder the heavy responsibility of raising children. They should not push their children into society, drugs and death!

(7) Parents should teach their children some specific strategies to prevent being used by criminals. In Yunnan, there have been several cases in which criminals used children aged five or six to smuggle and transport drugs. Parents should educate their children to learn to refuse strangers' accosting and cheating, not to accept strangers' gifts, not to eat strangers' food, fruits and cigarettes; Don't go to places where drug crimes are rampant.

In a word, drug prevention education for teenagers and children is an important issue related to the healthy growth of teenagers, family and social stability, and the rise and fall of the Chinese nation. Although drug control is a huge social project, which requires the full cooperation of the international community and the joint efforts of all sectors of society, family education obviously has a huge and irreplaceable role. As a citizen, as a parent, as the first lifelong educator of children, we should always remember it.
