As
a parent or caregiver, you play a vital role in influencing
your child's attitudes and behaviors. You serve as a
role model on the use of alcohol, tobacco and other
drugs (ATOD), control the availability of ATOD in your
home, and help set your child's expectations concerning
illicit behaviors. A recent study shows that children
whose parents are involved in their lives (hold regular
conversations, attend after-school events, and listen
to their problems) are less likely to use/abuse drugs.
