Conversation Starters

• Ask your kids about the ClearChoices presentations they saw at school. What choices did the speaker make that they can or cannot relate to, what did they learn?

• Tell your kids what your family’s position is on alcohol or drugs.  Talk to your spouse, agree on your family’s position, and share that with your child. Make that position very clear and always remain consistent, don’t waiver.  

• Attend one of our adult education ClearChoices presentations at your teen's school, and then discuss with your kid what you have learned about home drug testing kits and the ability to use them at any time.  When talking about the issue of trust, make it clear to your child that you DO trust them, and that you are continuing to build trust with them. You trust your kids to succeed at school, yet you wouldn't follow up by not looking at their report card.  Home drug testing kits provide your kids an “out” from negative peer pressure situations; a REAL way to say “no” when their friends are saying “yes.”

"I can't.  We have a drug test kit at home.  My
parents will test me and they'll call
your parents too."
