[quote=Anonymous]+1 on modeling good habits. Parents who drink, smoke or use drugs are sending a very mixed message when they tell their kids not to. Along the same lines, even if the parents are abstainers, it’s important not to normalize such behaviors or treat them as humorous (as so often has been on TV and in movies). Using cutesy names like “weed” is also bad. Keeping lines of communication open is also important. You can’t just suddenly start discussing this stuff when the kid starts growing up. You have to lay the groundwork early as with other positive habits. [/quote]
