Parents Urged to Adopt Tough Love Approach to Children Abusing Drugs

Executive Director of the National Council on Drug Abuse (NCDA), Michael Tucker, is appealing to parents to adopt a tough love approach when dealing with children, who are substance abusers.

"You need to be tough and resolute in doing what is necessary," he urged parents. "You must have an approach of tough love, you need to help the youngster to get over this," he stated at a recent JIS Think Tank.

According to Mr. Tucker, parents need to be informed about substance abuse and its effects because they too need to be part of the solution and not the problem. He noted that too often, parents support their children's drug habit by giving them money, even though they know that their child is using drugs.

Information from a National School Survey conducted by the NCDA in 2006 reported significant experimentation with alcohol, ganja, cigarettes and crack cocaine, inhalants and beadies in youngsters between the ages of 11 and 19.

The Executive Director is appealing to parents to get professional help from substance abuse officers attached to the NCDA.

"There is help that is available.contact us at the National Council on Drug Abuse," he advised. "Our substance abuse or field officers are actually trained in primary treatment; they can engage the youngster and do an evaluation of what is happening.counsel and start the process and they can also recommend the treatment options and make referrals to health professionals that can assist that youngster," he pointed out.

Meanwhile, Director of Information and Research at the NCDA, Ellen Grizzle is encouraging parents to be positive role models for their children.

"Parents can't be users themselves and be positive role models for their children," she pointed out.

A beadie is an herbal-type cigarette that have no filter or papers and are rolled in leaves and tied with a string. come in different flavors, are bought at various stores etc.

They sell them in headshops around here. The above was copied and pasted, then edited by me to make it clearer to those asking.

tough love is completely ridiculous. it absolutely does not work, it just produces a bunch of half-raised citizens who weren't given the proper tools to survive in the world. The fact that we have so many fuckups in our society is a testament to the failure of 'tough love' parenting.

i think its ridiculous how the same republicans who believe abortion is wrong have no problem cutting a child off and booting him out the house at the drop of the hat, because the kid didn't turn out quite the way the parent wanted him too. Thats even more irresponsible than getting an abortion. Putting more fuckups into the world just because you are unwilling and unable to raise a child properly.

sorry to go on a rant, but it pisses me off when people fuck up their kids, and then blame the children. tough love is just a copout for being a bad parent.

"America touts itself as the land of the free, but the number one freedom that you and I have is the freedom to enter into a subservient role in the workplace. Once you exercise this freedom you've lost all control over what you do, what is produced, and how it is produced. And in the end, the product doesn't belong to you. The only way you can avoid bosses and jobs is if you don't care about making a living. Which leads to the second freedom: the freedom to starve."
