[quote=Anonymous]I always ask what they think about it, or how they think it impacts their friend. Gives me a lot more info. As a fairly young mom (30’s with teens), I can still remember rolling my eyes at things like “pot makes you lazy.” If he has friends using drugs then he can seegfor himself that it had a different impact on different people. Not every casual user is a burnout waiting to happen. Likewise about any other judgy statement. Kids usually know the party line (at least mine do. We have regular adult-led chats about our values wrt sex, drugs and rock n roll), but what they are feeling out is their own values, and letting them explore these out loud will help them more than repeating your own values, IMO.[/quote]
