Parents: Talking to Youth
You are your child’s most important role model and their best defense against drug use. Start early and answer the questions about drugs before they are asked.
Tips on how to talk to your child about drugs:
- Educate them about the harms and consequences
- Maintain a calm, two-way conversation
- Listen to them and respect their opinion
- Try not to lecture, threaten, or judge them
- Discuss peer pressure and ways to say no to drugs
If you fear your child is getting involved with drugs or other illegal activity, call the Surrey RCMP Parent Helpline at 604-599-7800 to connect with an officer in our Youth Unit.
