Q: I caught my son doing drugs. How do I respond?
A: Our kids are up to insurmountable levels of peer pressure
today. Your job as a parent is to counter attack these
with positive influences instead. Are you providing your son
with opportunities to get around and interact with kids who are
living for Christ? Kids that are not depending on drugs to feel great? Or are
you just letting life bring you what it may? Our sons and daughters can't do
better without the proper equipment, and the environment we allow
them to have both in and outside of the home is no exception.
So yes, you may
have caught your son doing drugs. But its not likely that it is his first time.
The bible says, "To will is with me but how to perform that which I will I
find not" [Romans 13:17] You son may want to do better but is looking for
you to show him how. Begin to communicate with him about the end of a life with
drugs. Let him know about and even visit people who are dying of cancer due to
smoking in their earlier days. His friends have probably only
introduced him to the feel-good side of drugs and have left this out. Talk to
him about how you and others have overcome it.
Stick to the
previous and he is likely to turn around. The devil is a liar. All hope is not
gone.
