• Are you a parent of a toddler or an elementary school age child?
  
  
• Are you concerned that your middle school aged child might be influenced by others to try drugs?
  
  
• Do you need information and help when talking to your teenager about drugs?

Effective drug prevention is an ongoing process that starts in the toddler years. This book is a guide to help you as this journey begins. The suggestions are age appropriate, but their goal will be to mold your child into a positive, self-assured teenager, one that will not be interested in drug use.

Although methods of parenting vary from parent to parent, the common goal concerning drug abuse prevention should be to develop children with a strong sense of self, and a very high level of self-esteem. Children need to respect themselves and their loved ones. Children do not come with a manual, and all you can do is your best. Hopefully, the tools to keep your kids drug free in this book will help you on the journey of parenthood.
