Your kids face numerous decisions every day. Making their bed in the morning might be a house rule—but it’s ultimately still a choice! So is choosing fruit over a frosting-loaded donut for breakfast. But there are also the choices they make that take place at school, their job or while out with their friends that parents may not see.

As we head into this Thanksgiving week, take time to reflect on the good things our kids do each day and don’t minimize those healthy choices for being too small, expected of them or unseen by parents.

Take a Moment to Be Thankful to Your Kids For:

  • Making good choices about friends
  • Abiding by the house rules
  • Turning down drugs and alcohol
  • Having a good relationship with other siblings
  • Participating in a healthy hobby or school activity
  • Being who they are!

And while we’re at it, don’t forget to thank yourself for setting the foundation and guiding your kids to make these smart life decisions!

Happy Thanksgiving from the DrugFreeAz.org team!
