Simple Ways to Protect Your Children This Holiday:
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the school holiday begins, children are looking forward to well-deserved rest, fun, and freedom. However, this transition from a structured school environment to increased free time can also increase the risks of experimentation with drugs, alcohol, and other harmful substances. During this break, we encourage you to stay actively involved and engaged in your child’s life:
1. Communicate Openly & listen
2. Know their Friends and whereabouts:
3. Set Clear Boundaries:
4. Be a Positive Role Model
5. Check their mental health status etc
Please, if you suspect your child is using drugs, do not hesitate to seek professional help. Early intervention is key. ±256-701704716 FOR SUPPORT, QUESTIONS . Afaayo Anti - Drug Abuse Initiative
