We might not be able to completely stop our children using drugs. We can, however, help them a lot and make sure they know about drugs and have thought carefully about them. We can help keep them as safe as possible and be there for them when they need us. Some of the practical things you can do are:

• Learn about drugs yourself
• Think about your views and your own drug use
• Talk and listen to your youngsters
• Work out some drug rules together
• Help them get a good drugs education
• know where and how to get help if you or they need it
