My, now there's a way to show you trust them. Hate to break it to you, but your child is more likely to get run over than to succumb to drugs - and it will be just as painful, and just as life threatening, if not more so. Going to declare a war on cars? Of course not - you'll teach them road safety and hope for the best. Your children will turn into their own people, and make their own decisions - teaching them confidence, inform them of their choices, and empower them - don't belittle them by giving them drug tests and shutting them in the house come 10pm. Both happy and unhappy people take drugs, it's just the unhappy people keep taking them and eventually abuse them, and happy people do it once or twice and then get on with their lives.

I heard a woman on the radio the other day that said that they've decided even with their young children to do drug testing on them once a week. She says that they're starting it before they're old enough to argue or be offended - they're just going to tell them they have to make sure that no one is giving them anything and they're just going to make it a ritual every week. At first I thought that was awful but the more she talked about it the more convincing she was. Anyway - think about it. Mom Wow Brooke - that was really good.
