It is recommended that parents start having conversations with their children at age eight. It is important for your child to feel that you are comfortable with this topic. Explain to them that sometimes children try alcohol and drugs because they want to know what it’s like. Stress the importance of never trying alcohol or drugs because it is very dangerous for children.
Also, prepare your children for the chance that they may be offered alcohol or drugs. Practice what they may say of do if a friend or older kid offers them alcohol or drugs.
