The ABC’s Radio National Health Report had a good piece this morning (30/4/2012) on what works to help our young people avoid getting dragged into drug and alcohol addictions.
Surprisingly it wasn’t so much directly teaching them anti-drug and alcohol messages but some other parenting and teaching measures that once again are something we can implement very locally.
It is worth listening to the program but quickly what I was picking up was parenting styles that are firm and teach boundaries and standards; and school programs against bullying.
