Is your kid smoking?

Preteen deviance
| What is deviance? | Pre-teen smoking | Is your kid smoking? | Page Title

Pre-teens smoking is definitelly one of the most difficult problems for parents. Children know the risks but still they do it.
Heard it all before your child knows the risks to her health, she knows it's a filthy habit, she knows it stains her teeth and the rest, but none of it seems to have any effect. Who smokes - and why they do - is a mystery. The children of non-smokers smoke, the children of heavy smokers don't. The influence of friends appears to be more important than family.

 

TALK TO THEM..

Don't remind them about the terrible things that will happen to them when they are 50. Don't lecture or nag,try to talk to them calmly and use arguments that they might respond to.

Concentrate on the immediate rewards: money saved for other nicer treats, clean teeth, clean smelling clothes. The longer someone smokes the more difficult it will be.
