About the Book:

How can parents keep their kids safe and healthy when it comes to drug and alcohol abuse? "Not All Kids Do Drugs" is a hands-on, accessible, step-by-step guide that tells parents exactly how to get the job done.

 

Part one deals with the issues surrounding teen use: Does it have to happen? Can you teach teens how to drink moderately and safely? Can we learn anything from how Europeans drink? What do parents need to know about school-based drug education?

  

Part two is the heart of the book. It provides direct ideas about how to create the safest world for your children; one that has the lowest risk of damage and danger caused by drugs and alcohol. In part two, you'll find "The Big Three" things you can do to lower the risk of drug and alcohol use by your children, as well as information about the most effective actions to take when it comes to teen parties, curfews, media, non-use policies, peer pressure, consequences of use, communication and goal setting. This section will even tell you what to say to your kids if you have ever used drugs at an earlier point in your life. These hands-on actions are easy to learn and will directly influence the environment your children grow up in.

 

Part three tells the authors' stories, and explores the nature of drug use, addiction, and the unforeseen consequences of drug and alcohol use that begins in the teen years. The authors have spent 15 years refining their knowledge of drugs and alcohol, and they strive daily to simplify this complex subject into understandable terms that can make this knowledge applicable in our every day lives. They believe drug education is not just about drugs; it's also about communication, life skills, and relationships. They see drugs not as the problem, but as a symptom of bigger problems that aren't being dealt with in an effective way. This book is intended to help families make healthy and informed choices, and thereby reduce the likelihood drugs and alcohol will play a negative role in their lives.
