Our state had a 14-year-old fatal heroin dose last week. With adolescence its an absolute truth they will not talk unless feeling safe and know for sure they are being heard. The early if a life these drug, alcohol and tobacco are discussed, the better chance they will also be avoided.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15881751016104813665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824319701176485167.post-36037513997685356542014-02-03T22:34:50.325-06:002014-02-03T22:34:50.325-06:00This is a really good post.

We also talk to her about not taking things like candy and stuff because of the drugs going around in schools that look like candy that is horrible and hope no kid get's there hands on that but u never know as my child goes to school with 4, 5 , and 6th and most 6th graders are starting that early or have brothers and sisters and it is scary thing i just hope and pray through talking to her she does not pick up those habits. richelle lefflernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5824319701176485167.post-17458671319935688492013-09-07T20:07:08.397-05:002013-09-07T20:07:08.397-05:00I agree, it is never too early to have conversatio...I agree, it is never too early to have conversations like this with your kids. My boys are 14 and 11 and we have had several talks. There are a few people on both sides of the family that use drugs and I will not let my kids spend the night at their houses. My boys would get mad because they want to play with their cousins. So I eventually had to explain to them why. No they really see how people act and how it affects others around them.
