The Mother's Checklist of Drug Prevention: Lessons in Drug Prevention: Handbook Two All The Little Things We Say and Do

Most parents are terrified by the idea of talking to their young children about drugs and alcohol. That fear causes many to wait far too long to start the discussion. Now, there is a solution to the problem: The Mother's Checklist of Drug Prevention.You can stop worrying right now-you don't have to talk to your six-year-old about heroin. In fact, most of this book has nothing at all to do with talking about drugs. Instead, it highlights all the little things we say and do when our children are young that can reduce stress and make them less likely as they get older to reach for drugs and alcohol to feel better.The Mother's Checklist is an exciting follow-up to Jonathan and Kelly's first handbook, Not All Kids Do Drugs, in which they gave parents the tools to help keep their kids safe and healthy in a world full of drugs. In The Mother's Checklist, they provide a detailed guide parents can use to forge patterns of language and behavior that will help them raise happy, self-confident children who can grow into functional, accomplished, drug-free young adults.The concept for this book was created by a mother, but it is not just for mothers. Dads, grandparents, nannies, babysitters, counselors, teachers-anyone who cares for or about children-will benefit from the wisdom found in this handbook and checklist.
