Being in the family, the child observes the behavior of the parents and accepts it as a standard. That is, if in the family tradition - "celebrate" alcohol not only holidays, but, and every Friday and weekend; a, dad is used every evening after work "to remove stress" beer - the kid will consider alcohol to be a natural component of the daily diet - like bread, or tea. And, if the parents start talking with him about the fact that drinking is harmful - it will be an empty shaking of the air. After all, you need to know how to tell the child about the harm of alcohol correctly. Consequently, parents who want to raise the correct attitude to alcohol in a child should not make frequent feasts in the presence of children. Do not demonstrate the use of alcohol "for health", "for warming," "from stress" - this can give the child false beliefs about the benefits of drinking. Do not stress that alcohol is for adults, otherwise a child may begin to drink to appear to be more mature.
You can pay attention to the child on the street, as a drunkard looks like - unfortunately, there are plenty of such examples in our time. An unpleasant, lost human form, in dirty clothes, with a dull look, unrelated speech and a sour smell - more often than not, has an unforgettable effect on the baby (in that case, of course, if he does not observe such characters in his own family).
And, nevertheless, in order to clarify for the child all the nuances and answer his questions, it is necessary to hold a conversation about the dangers of alcohol. So let's talk about how to tell a child about the dangers of alcohol.
In conversation, avoid mentoring intonations. There is no point in teaching or intimidating a child. It is not necessary to say: "Alcohol is consumed by bad people," or "Only women who are dismissed and are allowed to smoke" are untrue. Feeling a lie about information, the child will question it all. Give accurate and truthful information.
First of all, tell us about the fact that alcohol is addictive not only on the psychological, but also on the physiological level. That is, the body of a person who has become dependent on booze, launches a program of destruction. Convince the child that alcohol abuse can be caused not only by the abuse of strong alcoholic beverages, but also by the banal habit of cheering up a bottle of beer or a jar of a low-alcohol cocktail.
List traditional diseases of people who abuse alcohol. But, do not focus on how the diseases "spoil" the human body, but what problems the patient gets: the inability to exercise, the noticeable deterioration in appearance, and so on. And, in addition to diseases, alcoholism leads to personality changes. From a free person who manages his life, under the influence of booze, one can become a slave who is incapable of any achievements, as well as losing respect for family and friends, or losing a loved one.
Tell the child that up to 90% of all crimes are committed while drunk. And, many, of those who committed irreparable acts, did not want to do this at all. Simply, under the influence of alcohol, a person "flies" protective barriers that do not, in normal circumstances, lead aggression. Many of the sadly ended conflicts could have been avoided, being their participants in a sober state. Drunken deafness leads to a huge number of ridiculous deaths. What, only, is the statistics on the road accident, the perpetrators of which are irresponsible people, who got behind the wheel under the influence of alcohol.
Develop common myths about alcohol: alcohol does not help warm up in the cold, does not relieve stress, does not lower blood pressure, does not increase potency and does not cure a cold. The alcoholic will never learn to drink in moderation - he can only, completely give up drinking, if he undergoes treatment and shows remarkable restraint.
Tell us about the risk of poisoning with low-quality alcohol. The fact that alcohol bought in tents and "from under the floor" - it is likely, it can be a fake. The use of such fun drinks can cost too much - from loss of sight to loss of life.
Separately mention the favorite drink of teenagers - sweet canned cocktails - legalized poison. Especially, about the most harmful of them - with the addition of power engineers. The alcohol content in these drinks is 1.5 - 2 times higher than its level in beer. And the chemical compounds that occur in such jars are often even more dangerous than, directly, alcohol.
It is worth mentioning, also, that alcohol is a business that generates income. And, while naive adolescents, succumbing to advertising, decide "who will follow Klinsky" (c), adult unclean uncles consider money (and considerable). And, im absolutely spitting on the fact that other people's children are injuring their health. On the contrary - the more teenagers will depend on the products produced by their enterprises, the thicker will be their wallets. It is for this purpose that advertising directed to the youth audience is removed: young people have fun, drink and look advanced, "cool". Select attractive for teenagers slogans - "be cool" - calls the famous producer. Uncle, by the way, do not use their own products - they prefer more noble drinks.
Pay attention to the child's successful people who have free thinking, easily manage their lives, not relying on where the current will go. They - the whole world in their hands - they do not have time to sit at the entrance with beer. A person who leads a healthy lifestyle - many times more strength, energy to achieve the planned goals than people with bad habits. In addition, a person who does not stupefy his mind is more open to new opportunities, he has a wider range of interests, and, as a consequence, a more full-fledged, full-fledged life.
How to talk about the dangers of alcohol to your child - each parent himself solves this problem. But, first of all, adults should remember that children more trust what they see with their own eyes than with the most pedagogically literate conversations.
