Большое число молодых людей признаются, что они буквально «ловили кайф» на глазах у родителей, которые даже не догадывались об этом. Родителям нужно научиться быстро распознавать безошибочные признаки, указывающие на то, что их ребенок становится наркоманом. Люди, злоупотребляющие наркотиками, могут иметь следующие внешние симптомы: следы от иглы на руках и ногах, красные, слезящиеся глаза, суженные зрачки, вороватый взгляд, хроническая вялость и инертность, заметное беспокойство, мышечные спазмы и склонность к быстрой ходьбе, частые расстройства желудка, язвы и кровоподтеки на руках, ногах и на других частях тела; немотивированные и неудержимые приступы веселья, резкий запах пота, привычное почесывание носа, частые головокружения, заметное умственное и физическое вырождение личности, депрессия и отчаяние, мания преследования, хроническая сонливость, потеря интереса к учебе, неспособность сосредоточиться на занятиях, потеря интереса к спорту, повышенная раздражительность, увлеченный пересказ глупой лжи, нежелание разговаривать по причине поглощенности собой, на ранней стадии непомерный аппетит (на жаргоне наркоманов — «свиняк»).
With the children themselves in the school must also beconduct drug prevention. Many school boards have made drug abuse prevention program part of the curriculum. From kindergarten through third grade children are trained to the principles of proper nutrition, it is due to the danger of drug use found in most homes, and also explains why abuse is dangerous things such as coffee, tea and soft drinks heavily. From the fourth to sixth grade, children learn what harm the body does cigarette smoking, sniffing glue and alcohol and drug use; the seventh to ninth graders say to them how drugs affect modern society, and discuss the pressing issues of our time, and the tenth to twelfth grades drug prevention issues included in subjects such as economics, sociology and English.
The most effective weapon, holding the younga person from drug abuse is a secure environment in the home, a well-established, family life pleasant, and the bonds of love that bind all members of the family. The next three are the most important preventive steps that parents can take:
1. Encourage the children to set specific goals in life. Help your child to appreciatecreative work to psychologically prepare them for an honest life. Teach him that life - is a sacred gift and that we have to keep for themselves the answer in the day of judgment. When a young man teach biblical values, he is less likely to find the time or place for the use of drugs, alcohol, or other temptations.
2. Encourage the child to choose a healthy society. Do not forbid him to bring home friends tothey were engaged in something under your supervision. Drive it to places where it can find a worthy peer, which he is not ashamed to invite guests.
3. Руководить подростком, советовать ему, чем можно занять свободное время. Young people who are interested in studying at school and involved in extracurricular activities, rarely communicate with people who can draw them into addiction.
Encourage your child to participate inmusic, sports and club events held in your church, school or district. When he was old enough, you can get him to work part-time after school, so he did not have much free time, and that he was able to earn money on future studies, on clothing and on public life; let him feel worthwhile person, and you will see how dramatically increase his self-esteem. » Because children often experiment in the afternoons and on weekends, when there is a long break in the classroom, David Wilkerson urges: »The duty of the parents - to see to it that the children had very little time for unexpected public events.» In conclusion, we can say that the key to solving the problem of drug addiction lies in the strong family ties, in the creation of a family, whose members respect and love each other. Mutual respect family life filled with new meaning and create an atmosphere that helps the child to grow in a healthy environment. In addition, parents should set an example of the child in accordance with the ideal norms, which they try to instill in all of its children. In other words, they need to offer the child more than a banal moralizing and bad example. Drug prevention starts with the parents.
