Teaching Kids the Consequences of Bad Habits
It is important to talk to your child about the dangers of addiction and the importance of making healthy choices
Dangerous habits refer to the wrong type of addiction. This risk exists globally with growing up children, however, in countries where poverty is alarming, people are massively addicted. When people don’t get jobs, they tend to earn money in illicit ways. The poor economic conditions force them to simply feed their children. Such children can easily fall prey to these habits.
In my school, the external environment was very poor. Unsurprisingly, the impact of the external environment also affected the institution. Once, some children complained that two children were sitting outside and someone had given them something poisonous. When these children were brought up, they had the same opinion. However, it was clear from their eyes that they had consumed drugs themselves.
Connecting to the children is the only way to secure them
If you already have rules in your home and your children are accustomed to them from the start, they will continue to abide by them in adulthood. If you have a strong relationship with them, they can open up to you about their situation and you can understand them due to the trust between you. However, if this is not the case, the child may seek out the wrong kind of people and develop dangerous habits. If you have a strong connection, you can resolve the issue yourself; if not, you may need to seek help from another source.
Do you have a child around you who has fallen victim to dangerous habits? Who do you think has a role in it?
