5. 选择时机

与子女讨论毒品,要确保选择一个适合的时机,可以是一起看电视的时候,或者在他们谈论学校或朋友圈事情的时候。

6. 要冷静

讨论毒品问题时,冷静和理性很重要,不要反应过度。不要说教和嘲笑,这会令今后的讨论困难,会使子女更抗拒谈论毒品问题。

7. 避免冲突

当有冲突时,要解决问题很困难。当发生对立时,停止对话,等到双方更冷静时再恢复对话。

8. 保持对话

当你就毒品的话题谈过一次,便需要有第二次。这样的对话应该早些开始,而且在任何时间都要开放地与子女讨论。

9. 设置清晰的底线

你的子女遇到毒品时会怎样做,讨论并支持他们。例如,让他们知道当需要时,你不论何时都可以去接他们,不管几点钟; 但要清楚地表示,你更不希望他们置身于有机会接触毒品的情况。
