If you want to make sure that your child doesn’t fall to temptation in their lives, you need to provide them with the knowledge and support to know how to make the right choices.

Show them trust

The number one reason that children will act out is because they feel as if they need to prove something to their parents. If you treat your child like a child throughout their life and never give them trust, they will act out to prove you wrong. The best thing you can do for your children is show them that you trust them to be good. Give them responsibilities such as looking after a small pet or picking up some shopping for you. Let them know that you think highly of them and this will enable them to feel respected.

Control their online habits

The World Wide Web can be a dangerous place for children. With the way things are moving these days it is impossible to keep your children away from the Internet, but we can control it. There are plenty of parental control options which you can add onto your broadband plan or even use through the browser which will keep your kids safe when online.

Don't Drink Alcohol or Don't Keep It At Home If You Do

When kids are growing up they will be watching a lot of TV and movies which show people drinking alcohol. Children are naturally very curious creatures so they will likely want to see what all the fuss is about. This is why it is crucial for you to educate them about the effects of alcohol on the body and brain several times, not just once.  Set a good example by not drinking alcohol yourself.  If you plan to drink alcohol, explain to your child what you are doing and why you are doing it and how you plan to control yourself and not overindulge, then follow through, so you set an example of self-control.  If you drink alcohol, do not keep it at home, where a child can get to it because they can not tolerate the same level of alcohol as adults.

Be open

The worst thing you can do with children is try to hide things from them and keep them out of the loop. It has been proven that children who grow up with knowledge of drugs, alcohol and the effects they have on the body are much more likely to grow up without trying them. Always make sure you have an easy and open relationship with your children because they will trust you and tell you everything. It means that if anything ever does happen, they won’t try to hide it from you, they will instead talk to you and ask for advice. This is the best way to keep your child healthy, happy and on the right path.
