Overview
This reference book is
the most current written guide on child and teen drug abuse. It offers
comprehensive insights into how all parents can help prepare their children,
for any exposure they may have to these substances. It is important to state
that the content of this book is a combination of research from various
sources, mainly professionals with whom I have spoken at government
organizations’ Drug Abuse web sites, plus research papers, as well as
information learned the hard way from my own personal experience with drug
abuse.
After researching this subject through such numerous resources and, having
talked with counselors, psychologists and members of the police force, I
have discovered that parents are either provided minimal information, or
bombarded with information overload. There are reasons for this, and I
believe it is because the subject is extremely difficult to explain in all
of its complexities, and is excessively diverse for all parents concerned.
I have found that reference information on this subject is available, if you
really search for it and you know what you are specifically looking for.
Unfortunately, by the time a parent is searching for this kind of
information, it usually means their child is already experiencing problems
with drugs. Subsequently, it is too late for any preventative measures at
that point. Thus, the purpose of this book is to inform parents before there
is a drug problem.
Parents are in the best position to monitor their children’s welfare and
state of mind; therefore, it is essential that they be the ones who are
armed with the facts. Education and up-to-date information have been proven
the most effective way for parents to reduce their children’s susceptibility
to drugs and alcohol. Parents need to be aware that they can make the
difference.
This book will alert parents to the reasons behind strange changes they may
notice in their child’s physical appearance, behavior or attitude. In
addition, advice and suggestions are offered for parents who have already
discovered that their child is using drugs.
The contents of this book have been designed especially to suit the needs of
parents, to answer all their questions regarding young people’s substance
abuse. It is so important that parents have this information on hand and at
home for easy reference at all times. In addition to reading this book of
prevention, I also encourage parents to seek out related organizations and
programs available in their community so they can continue their education
on this subject. Child and teen drug abuse is increasing rapidly so this
book is timely. Parents need this information now!
Knowing that you love your child and only want him or her to experience the
Good Life, it is imperative that you become well informed about the dangers
of drug abuse facing your child today. Grab hold of this book, read it,
study it and keep it handy. It can make all the difference!
