For parents like us, it’s devastating to think that our precious kids would fall into bad habits of smoking, drinking or doing drugs. But an early intervention and unrelenting support from parents can help save the young ones from bad vices. There are effective interventions being offered in both private and government hospitals for sure.

We can’t always be with our kids 24 hours a day, but at least spend time to reach out and talk to them. Asking them how their day was assures them that you are ready to listen to whatever she or he would like to share, be it happy or sad news.
