Tips On Talking To Kids About Not Smoking
Any time parents spend with their kids can be a good time to talk about not smoking cigarettes-and if it seems hard to find the time, maybe it's a good idea for parents to set a date.
It's important to set up special times to talk to your kids about critical issues like not smoking, says Dr. Michael Popkin, a parenting expert.
Because he knows how hard it can be to get the conversation started, Popkin supports a new initiative, Pledge to Talk, which provides parents with a ready-made opportunity. Talk Early, Talk Often, Lorillard Tobacco Company's Youth Smoking Prevention Program, offers free movie vouchers to parents who Pledge To Talk to their kids about not smoking.
"The movie vouchers aren't just a reward; they will help set the stage for an intimate conversation between a parent and a child," says Popkin. "Any chance you have to bring up the no-smoking message is a good one, even on your way to and from the theater. Parents who Pledge to Talk at KeepKidsFrom Smoking.com will get movie vouchers that can be redeemed at the box office for free admission."
Each parent will receive a voucher good for one adult and one child admission while supplies last. Those interested should log on early since quantities are limited.
Those who Pledge to Talk will receive the movie vouchers as well as a special tip sheet with helpful conversation starters.
"Parents often ask me what moment is best for talking to kids about not smoking," said Dr. Popkin. "Although there are certainly things they can do (and avoid) to make talks more effective, any time is a good time to talk. Talks can happen on the way to school or a movie. They can happen at mealtime or bedtime. The important thing is that they happen-at an early age and often enough for the message to stick."
BONUS : Tips To Help Keep Children Safe From Internet Dangers
Parents don't have to be computer experts to keep their children safe online.
According to the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center, the first step is to realize that one out of every five youths who use the Internet receives an online sexual approach of solicitation during a one-year period.
Even scarier, in 15 percent of such cases, the solicitor attempts to meet the child in person. And, only 25 percent of those children who encounter a sexual solicitation tell a parent.
Worse yet, if asked, more than 29 percent of Internet-using children will freely give out their home address, e-mail address and other personal information online.
The Internet Keep Safe Coalition and the GEICO Educational Foundation have teamed up with the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center to let parents know how to help keep children safe online:
1. Keep the computer in a common room in the house and position the monitor so it's available for public viewing.
2. Establish rules for using the Internet and teach your child important safety guidelines.
3. Use blocking software or filtering programs, but don't rely on them as your only line of defense.
4. Predators often use chat rooms to contact children. Teach children that people online are not always who they say they are.
5. Frequently check your computer's Internet history to see what sites your child is visiting.
6. Monitor your child's e-mail account. Let him or her know you're checking it and why. Talk with your child about potential online dangers.
7. Spend time with your children when they're online. Have them show you their favorite sites.
8. If you see anything suspicious or think that your child may be a victim of Internet exploitation, contact your local FBI office or law enforcement agency.
9. Tell your children to protect their personal information. Children should never give their real name, address, phone number, the name of their school or a picture of themselves to anyone they meet online. Never let your child meet in person with anyone they've met on the Internet.
10. Teach children to tell a parent, teacher or trusted adult if they feel uncomfortable about anything they've seen online.
