Prevention Life Skills for Raising Addiction Resilient Children

Can your child say no when it really matters? Telling children "don't do drugs" isn't enough. They need practical skills they can use when pressure comes. In Course 11 of our Parent Empowerment Program, City Walls Initiative (CWI) shows parents how to build three life skills that protect children from addiction. You'll learn: ▸ Refusal skills: how to practise and role-play clear, firm responses your child can use when friends pressure them ▸ Media literacy: how to help your child see how movies, music and social media make money by making drinking, smoking and risky habits look cool ▸ Self-control: how puzzles, board games and other patience-building activities help your child learn to pause before acting These skills are built at home, one conversation and one game at a time. Watch next: Course 10: Gaming & Gambling | Course 9: Alcohol, Drugs & Medicines | Parental Monitoring City Walls Initiative exists to raise addiction-resilient children. We empower parents and teachers through our Parent Empowerment Program, School Outreach Programme and our radio programme, CWI: Parents Against Addiction. 👍 Like, share with a parent who needs this, and subscribe for more.    / @citywallsinitiative
