How to Prevent
 These days, drug addiction has become a very
 common occurrence, and more often than not, young
 people become a target of this bad practice. Most
                         T
 parents have one question, and that is how to prevent
 drug addiction.
Getting loved ones admitted into the rehabilitation
centers is one of the worst situations a family can go
through, so it is better to focus on prevention, and
                         T
get acquainted with how to prevent drug addiction
and keep loved ones away from this awful habit.
The easiest way to keep children and other family
members away from drugs is to pay attention to
them. All a person needs is some attention and love,
                         T
but when they are unable to get this, they are
compelled to listen to bad influences, and then
perhaps use drugs or alcohol.
FIRST idea on how to prevent drug addiction - is to
pay attention; treat loved ones in a very friendly,
concerned manner, whatever the situation is. If
                          T
people shower love and treat their loved ones as
friends, one should never opt to go on the wrong
path, thus keeping his or her from drugs.
SECOND idea on how to prevent drug addiction - is to
spend some time with the children and know their
company well. When people take time out from their
                          T
busy schedules and spend some time with their
children, it helps bring them closer together. This can
also help parents know more about their children’s
circle of friends, and whether there is anyone who can
mislead their child.
Staying updated with what children are doing and
where they are going can facilitate a lot in keeping
them away from bad company and drugs.
                         T
THIRD idea on how to prevent drug addiction - is to
educate children on drugs and their side effects.
There are some parents who may feel hesitant
                          T
discussing about drugs with their children, and this
is not good. People should freely talk to their
children about drugs, and make them familiar with
the adverse effects that can ruin their entire lives.
If parents find it difficult to act on these three ideas
on how to prevent drug addiction, then they can
simply encourage their child to join constructive
                           T
extracurricular activities, like hobby classes, sports,
music. Anything which children consider a fun (yet
fairly educational) way to spend time is good.
So, these are the needful answers on how to prevent
drug addiction. While dealing with your loved ones,
make sure you keep these three ideas.
